Mysql date format

I'm using php with MySql. I'm migrating an php-oracle application to php-mysql. I need to know if exists any function in mysql similar to the "to_char" or "to_date" functions of oracle; or "format" function of access?. These functions make a date format or numeric format. ex: to_char(sysdate,'dd/mm/yyyy hh:mi:ss') return a string with the actual datetime in the specified format. Thanks, RB _________________________________________________________________ Únete al mayor servicio mundial de correo electrónico: http://www.hotmail.com
