RJP1 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hey guys, for the life of me, I can't find the right php technique for converting a date/time number format into something useful... e.g 2010-09-16 12:09:19 to 16th September 2010 If you could point me in the correct direction, that would be great!

RJP1 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Ah thanks AbraCadaver, I tried something very similar but it kept giving the year as 1969! Cheers for the speedy help, really appreciated!

Pikachu2000 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If it's coming from a MySQL database query, you can format it in the query itself, too. SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_field, '%D %M, %Y) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207540-how-to-parse-2010-09-16-120919-style-date/#findComment-1085109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
