I just started with php and am trying to display a query result for a date
field as mm/dd/yyyy instead of mysql's yyyy-mm-dd. I looked through some
books and found the use of DATE_FORMAT to covert the dates. Is there any
other way to format the date?
Thanks
My script looks like this:
$month_1 = ($date_month_1);
$day_1 = ($date_day_1);
$year_1 = ($date_year_1);
$month_2 = ($date_month_2);
$day_2 = ($date_day_2);
$year_2 = ($date_year_2);
$query = "SELECT * FROM tablename where date >= '$year_1-month_1-$day_1-'
AND
date <= '$year_2-$month_2-$day_2'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<p>Number of records found: ".$num_results."</p>";
for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo "<p><strong>".($i+1).". ID: ";
echo ($row["id"]);
echo "</strong><br>First name: ";
echo ($row["fname"]);
echo "<br>Last name: ";
echo ($row["lname"]);
echo "<br>Date: ";
echo ($row["date"]);
