phpBeginner06 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have a datatable in a web page that sorts in descending order. It sorts first by date (ie 01/06/2007) and then it sorts by time (ie 5:21 pm or 5:21 am). This worked great until I had a date of 01/06/2007 and a time of 5:35 am and a date of 01/06/2007 and a time of 5:23 pm. The datatable sorted the time numbers, but did not sort the "am" and "pm" values.So looks like this when it is sorted:[u]First Display[/u]01/06/20075:35 am[u]Second Display[/u]01/06/20075:23 pmMy question is; does anyone know a way to sort am/pm value of time (ie date, time, timezone desc)?

ToonMariner Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 sounds like you are not using teh date/time field in your database - this would sort that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpBeginner06 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 If I use date/time; my time keeps display "0000-00-00 00:00:00" as the default; even when I clear out the default field (I am using myPHPAdmin). I want it to sort by "date, time, am/pm"; but I also want to be able to display a time on the web page like: 5:35 am or 5:35 pm, not "0000-00-00 00:00:00".So how can I do this?

ToonMariner Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 use the date time - and always put a date time in it OR add teh date != '0000-00-00 00:00:00' in your query to filter out those records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpBeginner06 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Is the anyway to trim or clip the ":00" of the end of a "0:00:00" (field marked as "TIME")? So that when it displays in a web page it will look like this:[quote]11:51[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 thorpe - then he'd still have to use date() on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
