Re: MS-SQL date format problem

The default character format chosen for datetime fields is determined by the underlying driver. For ODBC its "2003-06-01 13:05:11.234" and for DB-Library and FreeTDS it's "Jun 1 2003 1:05PM". If you set the ini option mssql.datetimeconvert to 0, then it will be "2003-06-01 13:05:11". On FreeTDS it may also be influenced by the locale setting. It does not matter whether you use mssql_fetch_array or mssql_fetch_row. If you want to be certain that your datetime data will always appear a certain way then use CONVERT, instead of relying on the driver. -- bob On 12 May 2003, Adam Voigt wrote: > Hmm, what fieldtype is it in the DB? > We have a bunch of DATETIME type's, and using > a standard query it works just fine, returning > in the proper format, without ODBC. > > The only difference is we use mssql_fetch_array > instead of fetch_row. > > On Mon, 2003-05-12 at 09:12, Peter Misun wrote: > > Does anybody know, how to set date-time format for mssql_* functions? > > > > For example, after retrieving data by function mssql_fetch_row, the value returned was > > "22 XII 1975 0:00 > > " (which is midnight of 22nd December 1975) > > As you see, value "XII" (for month) is really unusable > > > > where to set that date format? > > > > with odbc functions it returns "1975-12-22 00:00:00.000", wha is really clear > > > > 5o > -- > Adam Voigt (adam@cryptocomm.com) > Linux/Unix Network Administrator > The Cryptocomm Group > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
