I have a date returned from MySQL in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, i want to show this date in 'DD/MM/YYYY' format using PHP, date() function does the same if i pass timestamp in int format, but how to convert into int timestamp ?
e.g from '2003-11-25' to '20031125' ? and Then I believe that i can use date ("d/m/Y", '20031125' ) to the things done ?
No, date() expects a unix timestamp. You can either use
SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(your_column) AS foo FROM Table ...
and then use the value in column 'foo' in date(), or just use DATE_FORMAT() in your query to retrieve the row already formatted.
