Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-26 00:50:30] jam@newimage.com I am attempting to extract a timestamp field from the database and convert it to a php time value. the issue is the value that postgresql hands out for the date-- it contains floating point numbers which parsedate.y doesn't know how to handle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-26 00:48:12] rasmus@php.net There are all sorts of functions in postgresql to format times. http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?functions-formatting.html http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?functions-datetime.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-26 00:35:09] jam@newimage.com - postgresql 7.2.1 - php 4.1.2 - redhat 7.3 with all applicable patches - field type: timestamp - strtotime() fails to parse dates of the form "2002-06-25 14:18:48.543728-04" because parsedate.y doesn't know how to handle a floating point seconds value. - according to #postgresql, it is not possible to have a timestamp not print the precision, so the issue needs to be handled by php's parsedate.y. - any other details needed, let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17988&edit=1
