tom_b Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hi, I have a database with a timestamp field. Everything works fine, but when I output it (echo) I want to change the date/time format. I've tried a number of things, no luck, not even sure if it's a Mysql or PHP issue. Any ideas? Thanks, Tom Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/38081-solved-timestamp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php - read the notes to see how you can format the output date in whatever format you want.

Yesideez Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I've experienced similar problems when I started with this as I was playing with a MySQL datatype of DATETIME and using date() to change the format gave me some weird results. This is what I ended up using in the end: echo date("d-m \a\\t H:i",strtotime($fetch[dt])); If you want only the date and time then remove \a\\t as that only displays the "at" word between the two. The link AndyB posted is very helpful so you can customise the output format.
