1) Is there any PHP command that'll convert a MySQL database timestamp into a format that humans can read?!! For example, I want to change "20010822001245" into "00:12.45 on the 22-08-2001"? 2) This is the hard question. I have a script that gets values from a database and then includes a php page which contains "echo $variable" code to get the values from the database onto the page. What I want to do is have the PHP page code in the main script instead of being included externally. So i tried putting the code into a variable and then including, but it didnt work. Then I tried echoing the variable but the PHP code isnt executed. If you dont fully understand my question, mail me. I'm really stuck and NEEDD HELP!!! TIA
