I have a date stored in a MySWL database in the following format.
2011-08-23 00:00:00
I'm then pulling that date in with php like so
echo $row['start'];
I want to edit the PHP code to display the date in the following format.
08/16/2011 12:00 am
Is there an easy way to do this?
I prefer:
echo date('m/d/Y g:ia',strtotime($row['start']));
Parse the timestamp stored by MySQL with strtotime to a unix timestamp, then use the date function to format it.
echo date('m/d/Y g:ia', strtotime($row['start']));
date_format is your friend.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_date-format
select date_format('2011-08-23 00:00:00','%m/%d/%Y %I:%i %p') -- 08/23/2011 12:00 AM

I have dates formatted as d/m/y. How can I insert them into a DATETIME column?
Use MySQL's STR_TO_DATE() function:
INSERT INTO my_table VALUES (STR_TO_DATE('26/5/12', '%e/%c/%y'))
You need to use php's date() function along with strtotime() to convert date to any format you want.
MySQL database stores the date in YY-MM-DD format for datetime datatype, so if for example you have a date
$date = '26/05/2012';
You can convert it by using date() and strtotime()
$formatDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('26/05/2012'));
This will convert the date from 26/05/2012 to 2012-05-26 which then can be inserted into the database.
If you are using a timestamp datatype to store the date in your database, then all you need is to convert the current date into unix timestamp and store in database for example.
$date = strtotime('26/05/2012');
//this will convert the date to unix timestamp
Update:
as pointed out by #wallyk (thank you), strtotime() does not handles dd/mm/yy format. the fix is to replace the slash / by -m below code should work for you.
date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', '26/05/2012')));
Try this:
$mysqldate = date("m/d/y g:i A", $datetime);
$date = date('d/m/Y');
$date = strtotime($date); //in unix time stamp format
Basically american date format is MM/DD/YYYY and you are providing DD/MM/YYYY so thats why startotime() returns you a null values on this input; and i prefer you must follow standard date format of american (MM/DD/YYYY) because if you are using mentioned format of date that will create more problems as well in different places ..
if you check by this
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime('05/26/2012') );
and it is working fine ..
you could change your DATE column into a String Column and insert the data when ever you want 2 check if the date is right you can use a regular expression to do so
I want to convert MySQL Time data type using PHP and Javascript. I know it can be done using FORMAT_TIME of MySql, but I would like to do the same with php. The Time format is hh:mm:ss by default and I would like to convert it to hh:mm.
Just feed the date into the following function(s):
<?php echo date("h:i", strtotime($date)); ?>
//any date is ok, we care only about the hours and minutes
// $your_date is what comes from db in format hh:mm:ss
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01 '.$your_date);
echo $date->format('H:i');
I think you could create a DateTime object and then use format("h:i") to get the desired output
I store the date and time in mysql as a date/time field which has this format: 2012-03-12 14:51:26, what i am trying to do is simply rearrange the DD/MM/YY to look like this.
When i use the following code, it just gives me a date wrong format warning.
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
If you are just displaying the date you can supply a certain format in the SQL query
SELECT DATE_FORMAT("%d/%m/%Y", date_column) FROM table
If you convert the MySQL timestamp to a unix timestamp, then you can use the date() function to output it in whatever format you like:
$unixTimestamp = strtotime($mysqlDate);
echo date($dateFormat, $unixTimestamp);
See the date format strings here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
First, convert it to a Unix timestamp (which I find to be all around better than a date_time field for a lot of reasons), then use PHP's date function.
echo date('Y-m-d h:i:s', strtotime($date));
Simply do:
date("d/m/Y", strtotime($date));
And read about strtotime function.
this will work.
$date = date_create("2012-03-24 17:45:12");
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
20101109-240000
or
20101109-235959
How to convert the date format above into MySQL format, Y-m-d H:i:s
Thank You
$mysqldate = preg_replace('/(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})\-(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})/', '$1-$2-$3 $4:$5:$6',$date)
Use STR_TO_DATE() MySQL function :
SELECT STR_TO_DATE('20101109-235959', '%Y%m%d-%H%i%s');
-- 2010-11-09 23:59:59
P.S. 20101109-240000 wouldn't work because it is not a valid timestamp.
right now I'm storing a date in the database, in the format date("Y-m-d") and im storing it in date column.
Now, I've retrieved it from the database but how can i display it like
October 31st 2010
Thanks!
Convert the date to a timestamp using strtotime and format it using date.
echo date('F jS Y', strtotime($databaseDate));
The preferred way going forward should be the use of the DateTime class though:
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tokyo');
$date = new DateTime($databaseDate);
echo $date->format('F jS Y');
Use date_format in your SQL query.
Example: date_format(somefield, '%d-%m-%Y, %h:%i %p')
