note 12464 deleted from function.date by jimw

Useful tidbit for converting a nice SQL storable date into something readily human readable. given that $sqldate equals something like "2001-04-14" (YYYY-MM-DD) then the following code will output something like: Saturday, April 14 2001 --------------------------------- $dates = explode ("-", $sqldate); $temp = 0; $humandate = strftime("%A, %B %d %Y",mktime(0,0,0,$dates[1],$dates[2]+$temp,$dates[0])); PRINT "$humandate"; ------------------------------- replace the "-" in the explode statement with whatever delimiter you used in your date format and look at the manual page for the strftime function to see the end output instructions.. *Some code found on this board so I though it appropriate to give some back
