Thanks for anwers, Bjoern WHen you send the select getdate () PHP doesn't parse that, it just sends it on to Sybase exactly as is. If you issue that query in ISQL, you should get the same result. PHP can't start parsing SQL requests. There are some ways in Sybase to change some of the defaults for date/times. Check the Sybase manuals, they may help. The only other thing that could even possibly be done (and I'm not advocating it) is the creation of a new function that would return the Sybase timestamp with greater precision. Don't get me wrong, I think Sybase should have better time formatting also. For example to format 12/31/2001 23:59:59 it takes two datetimes formatted string catted together, that's pretty sad. But still that is a Sybase issue. Not much PHP can do.
