RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL date formats
Try in PHP. This should take "12/25/2001" in $input_date and convert it to
"20011225" in $db_date. Then write $db_date to mySQL database.
Perform similar conversion when extracting from database.
Or instruct your users to use MMDD.
$thedate = explode("/",$input_date); //$thedate[0]=DD, $thedate[1]=MM,
$thedate[2]=
$db_date = date("Ymd", mktime(0,0,0,$thedate[1],$thedate[0],$thedate[2]) );

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL date formats
Hi everyone!
I have a little problem with my MySQL database in the way it stores dates.
The only format i can have is /MM/DD, and when i request this date from
my php page, this date is insertes in this format. As my website is going to
be for spanish users, the correct format would be DD/MM/, but i have no
idea about changing this, either on the database or when i process it with
php.
Thanks in advance for reading my post. I hope anyone can point me into the
right direction.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL date formats
in your select statement that you pull the date out with. wrap that column
with
SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() FROM table;
this will return the unix timestamp now with this format use the date()
function and format the date how ever you would like.

RE: [PHP-DB] MySQL date formats
nautilis, Leave the date in the database in MySQL format (/MM/DD) and when you need to display the date on your page, just do this: That just splits up the three numbers, and rearranges them.
