Re: [PHP] formating numbers date
I'm displaying a date that I get from a informix database query - the date format is as follows; 2002-12-04 23:21:49 I want it to display as 12/4/2002 11:21:49 PM Jeff Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: [PHP] formating numbers date
Hi,
?
$date = '2002-12-04 23:21:49';
$newdate = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($date));
echo $newdate;
?
Should do the trick -- although I haven't stripped out the leading 0 in
either the day or month, hence it will echo 12/04/2002, not 12/4/2002.
Season to taste,
Justin

You may need to adjust the numbers in the substrs...

$newdate = date('n/j/Y g:i:s a', strtotime($date));
echo $newdate;

echo's 12/4/2002 11:21:49 pm
also fixed the leading zero's problem :)

Isn't this a little simpler?

echo $newdate;

There's always more than one way to do something I guess :)

Yes, it is simpler to code, but it also takes almost twice as long to run.
1000 iterations with strtotime: 0.2296 seconds
1000 iterations with substr:0.1308 seconds
Doesn't matter much if you only do it once, but it can add up in a loop.

Re: [PHP] formating numbers date
worked great...
the other method may be a little quicker, but this code is easier for me to
understand, and although it is used in a loop there really is no visible
difference in how quickly it displays.
thanks,

[PHP] formating numbers date
I'm curious how I change the number of decimal places displayed, and also changing the date / time structures before displaying them with an echo command. Jeff -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Fw: [PHP] formating numbers date
To change the number of decimal places look into the number_format() function. To change the date/time structure the date() function will do what you need.

Re: [PHP] formating numbers date
ok - I've been looking through this... the number_format is working great (actually I finally found that function right before I read your response), but the date format doesn't seem to allow me to pass it a date.
