Why not let mysql do it? It has a function do to exactly that, I think... But php's date() is the function you're looking for... -Original Message- From: Ragnar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 4:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Formating datevariables...

RE: [PHP] Formating datevariables...
Yeah .. the php function date shud do it .. if only the timestamp would be in the correct format. I've been wrestling with it too, best way to do it for me was using some substr() calles to extract year, month and day from it. anybody better ideas? -- Alle door mij verzonden email is careware.

RE: [PHP] Formating datevariables...
Select TIMESTAMP(date_column) AS mydate
Then when you display it use the date function
DATE('mdY',mydate)

Re: [PHP] Formating datevariables...
Is the timestamp in UNIX format? if yes, try date() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php if no, try substr() hope that helps :) - Jeremy - Original Message - From: Ragnar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 7:42 AM Subject: [PHP] Formating datevariables...

RE: [PHP] Formating datevariables...
As Demitrious said, use mysql to do it. But if you want to use php, just use substr(), since all the numbers are there, there's no point converting to unix time, just to convert it back again... unless you're going to do some maths of it -Original Message- From: Demitrious S.
