Hi,

I have submitted the date into my database using:
[code]
$date = date("Y-m-d > H:i:s");
[/code]

Now my customer wants the date to read:
[code]
$date = date("d-m-Y > H:i:s");
[/code]

how can i change this when pulling the data out of the database?
Can this be done, or does it have to be before?

Thanks for all your help.

Hi, If you are using MySQL refer DATE_FORMAT(date,format)  function.

I would suggest to store a UNIX timestamp instead, that makes it easier to sort dates, format it different formats using date() etc.

definitely the best practice, but if you can't, you could just use this to print it after you take it out:
[code]
<?php
$date = date('Y-m-d > H:i:s');
list($date, $time) = explode(" > ", $date);
$new = date('d-m-Y > H:i:s', strtotime("$date $time"));
echo $new;
?>
[/code]
