jcbones Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Have you tried putting an A in there, notice the capital. See if that works. I've never had a problem getting am/pm to show.

Davie33 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have found out the problem why its not working with am & pm as this date("M j, y, g:i a", $row['timestamp']); doesn't mean anything to my code and the database but one thing i did leave in was $row['timestamp']) and the sql i added to show date and time but its showing date and time like this 2012-01-12 03:39:15 . like this... echo '<div class="newsblog_box1"><div class="newsblog_name">' . $row['name'] . ' '.$row['timestamp'].'</div></div> <div class="newsblog_box2">' . $text . '</div>'; This is all done on my localhost server. Date and time show no problem apart from am and pm.

jcbones Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 To get the desired format using MySQL's date functions, add this to your select statement. DATE_FORMAT(`timestamp`,'%b %e, %y, %r') AS formatted_time as in: SELECT *,DATE_FORMAT(`timestamp`,'%b %e, %y, %r') AS formatted_time FROM table; Then change your output to: echo '<div class="newsblog_box1"><div class="newsblog_name">' . $row['name'] . ' '.$row['formatted_time'].'</div></div> <div class="newsblog_box2">' . $text . '</div>'; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/254831-date-and-timestamp/#findComment-1306782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie33 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi i tryed what you said but comes up error. This is the query $query = yasDB_select("SELECT * FROM newsblog WHERE userid = '$id' IN(SELECT *,DATE_FORMAT(`timestamp`,'%b %e, %y, %r') AS formatted_time FROM newsblog)"); This is the error. Error thrown by database select "SELECT * FROM newsblog WHERE userid = '2' IN(SELECT *,DATE_FORMAT(`timestamp`,'%b %e, %y, %r') AS formatted_time FROM newsblog)" Operand should contain 1 column(s) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/254831-date-and-timestamp/#findComment-1307142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
