RE: [PHP] Changing MySQL Date Format
[snip] I'm using a hell of a lot of dates in my databases and wondered if it was possible to change the date format in my databases from -00-00 to: 00-00-...? Has anyone else managed to do this or use any workarounds I could use perhaps...? I'm just getting a little hacked of having to explode the damn things every time I use them. [/snip] The date time format is pretty standard, start here http://www.mysql.com/date You could write a date function that does your explosions for you. Or you could query the MySQL list for other solutions. (pun intended) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You EXPLODE them??
When you want it human readable why not simply
preg_replace(/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})/, $3-$2-$1 [*], $input);
it?
or preg_replace it to something machine-readable and for the output use
strftime?
or even simpler: select unixtimestamp(mytime) and strftime later?

[*] if you want the month leading it is $2-$3-$1...

Re: [PHP] Changing MySQL Date Format
Why not just write a simple function in php to change your date around for you? A function in a utility class perhaps? -Brent - Original Message - From: Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Harlequin [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 7:39 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Changing MySQL Date Format [snip] I'm using a hell of a lot of dates in my databases and wondered if it was possible to change the date format in my databases from -00-00 to: 00-00-...?

Or just use DATE_FORMAT() in your query...
