How to display Timestamp in readbale format from MySQL


AdRock

Recommended Posts

I have a timestamp field in my database and I call it to display the time the record was inserted but it reads backwards which I believe in the MySQL standard [b]2006-07-28 00:40:23[/b]

How can I format the timestamp so it reads something like [b]Posted: Tue Apr 04, 2006 02:29 [/b]

Here is the code I use the display the records

[code]$q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `news` LIMIT $set_limit, $limit");
  if(!$q) die(mysql_error());
    $err = mysql_num_rows($q);
      if($err == 0) die("No matches met your criteria.");

//Results per page: **EDIT LINK PATH**
echo(" 
<a href=?page=newsitem&limit=10&amp;pagenum=1></a>
<a href=?page=newsitem&limit=25&amp;pagenum=1></a>
<a href=?page=newsitem&limit=50&amp;pagenum=1></a>");

//show data matching query:
while($code = mysql_fetch_object($q)) {
    echo("<h3>".$code->title."</h3>");
    echo($code->time."<BR>");
    echo("<p">".$code->content."</p><BR>");
} [/code]

the timestamp is stored under the fieldname [b]time[/b]

From looking at your code $code->time holds your timestamp. SO what you'll want to do is change:
[code]echo($code->time."<BR>");[/code]
to:
[code]$time = date('F j, Y', strtotime($code->time))
echo '<b>Posted: ' . $time . "</b><br>";[/code]
