Recommended Posts

Hi people I have some code to retireve dates from a database, see below.

The issue is i can not find a way to change the output to d,m,Y instead of what the data comes back from database.

Any help with this would be much appriciated.

The transaction date is getting the invoice date created back as 2020-04-01 etc, but how to swap this code?, I dont think i can do it within the array.

$statement_transactions = array();
        $client_total_balance = $client_opening_balance;
        foreach ($client_invoices as $invoice_entry) {

        $transaction = [
                'transaction_type'          => self::TRANSACTION_TYPE_INVOICE,
                'transaction_date'          => $invoice_entry->invoice_date_created,
                'transaction_amount'        => $invoice_entry->invoice_total,
                'invoice_id'                => $invoice_entry->invoice_id,
                'client_id'                 => $invoice_entry->client_id,
                'user_company'              => $invoice_entry->user_company,
                'invoice_amount_id'         => $invoice_entry->invoice_amount_id,
                'invoice_item_subtotal'     => $invoice_entry->invoice_item_subtotal,
                'invoice_item_tax_total'    => $invoice_entry->invoice_item_tax_total,
                'invoice_total'             => $invoice_entry->invoice_total,
                'invoice_sign'              => $invoice_entry->invoice_sign,
                'invoice_status_id'         => $invoice_entry->invoice_status_id,
                'invoice_date_created'      => $invoice_entry->invoice_date_created,
                'invoice_time_created'      => $invoice_entry->invoice_time_created,
                'invoice_number'            => $invoice_entry->invoice_number,
            ];

            $client_total_balance += $invoice_entry->invoice_total;

            $statement_transactions[] = $transaction;

        }

You have a couple of options

1 ) Re-format the date in the SQL query when you retrieve the records. EG

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(invoice_date_created, '%d.%m.%Y') as invoice_date_created

2 ) Re-format after retrieval in the array

$transaction['invoice_date_created'] = date('d.m.Y', strtotime($transaction['invoice_date_created']));

Many thanks for this information.

I'm unable to change the format when retrieving from database as this isnt my code, its from a template system and do not know how this is being queried.

I have tried changing this re-format after retrieval in the array, and im still as yet to figure that out, everytime i try the code above it comes up with - Call to a member function format() on boolean which i think is the date.

Might have to rethink how to proceed.
