RE: [PHP] Formating datevariables...

As Demitrious said, use mysql to do it. But if you want to use php, just use substr(), since all the numbers are there, there's no point converting to unix time, just to convert it back again... unless you're going to do some maths of it -----Original Message----- From: Demitrious S.

It has a function do to exactly that, I think... But php's date() is the function you're looking for... -----Original Message----- From: Ragnar [mailto:ragnar@chello.no] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 4:42 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Formating datevariables...
