RE: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS

1) strftime("%T on the %D", strtotime($yourdate)); Should produce: 00:12:45 on the 08-22-2001 You can check the manual page for strftime() to see different ways to format the time to your liking: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php 2) The way you're trying to do that sounds a bit unnecessary, but take a look at eval() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php -----Original Message----- From: Georgie [mailto:georgiecasey@e-merge.ie] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 7:17 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS 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!!!
