I am wanting one field on a table in one of my MYSQL databases to contain different
dates and times as a epoch timestamps.
Firstly how do I convert a particular time and date which the user will enter on the
website into the epoch timestamp.
And secondly, how do I convert it back once taken of the table. I'd like to use the
date function to print out this particular date and time- for example $a = date('g:IA
l, jS F, Y') so that $a could say '7:30PM Saturday, 23rd August, 2003' Does date only
work by outputting the current date or time? Can you get it to output the format of
any date and time you would like?
I'd be grateful for any help!
