I'm using the below code as the basis for a client updateable news section.. I have variable called date which is set in the db as TIMESTAMP(6). When I print it i get the date in the reverse order YYMMDD. What would be the best way to display it in reverse based on my code below? Thanks.. <snip> $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news",$db); if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // display list if there are records to display do { printf("<strong>%s</strong><br>\n", $myrow["title"]); printf("%s <a href=\"%s?id=%s\" class=\"mailto\">more >></a> [%s]<p>\n", $myrow["summary"], $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $myrow["id"], $myrow["date"]); } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)); } else { // no records to display echo "<p>Sorry, no records were found!"; } </snip> -- Mike Karthauser Managing Director - Brightstorm Ltd Email >> mikek@brightstorm.co.uk Web >> http://www.brightstorm.co.uk Tel >> 0117 9426653 (office) 07939 252144 (mobile) Snailmail >> Unit 8, 14 King Square, Bristol BS2 8JJ
