RE: [PHP-DB] date()

use the php function substr to chop off what you don't need, since all the dates can come from mysql as yyyy-mm-dd or however, just use substr($mydate, 0, 10) or however far out, that truncates the actual $mydate. -----Original Message----- From: epeloke@echoman.com [mailto:epeloke@echoman.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 3:27 PM To: Php-Db Subject: [PHP-DB] date() I have a date field in my mysql db, when I output the data to the screen, I don't want to see the minutes, just the mmddyy. I can format a date but can't seem to get it to work passing in the value from $myrow["datefield"]....any ideas? I don't want to have to worry about just pulling what I want in the select clause, I just want to format it when I diplay it.
