Re: how should MS Access DATETIME be handled in PHP?

I don't know if MS Access will behave the same, but in MySQL you can have a query like so: SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %m %Y') as end_date_formatted FROM projects; And it will retrieve all columns from your projects table, plus the extra one you've created on the fly, and it will be named "end_date_formatted".
