ADO + PHP5 + SQL DATE FIELDS Using a COM("ADODB.Connection") object in PHP4 and PHP5 to return date fields in databases will have different results. In PHP4, the date is returned as a string as represented in the database. In my case, '2005-04-11 11:35:44'. In PHP5, the date is returned as a VARIANT type, when printed or implicitly casted would result as '4/11/2005 11:35:44 AM'. For this example, the solution is to use the variant conversion function variant_date_to_timestamp() to convert the value to a Unix timestamp. Please refer to this as an example. Other date types may be converted using one of the other variant_<convert> functions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52234 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52234&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52234&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52234&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52234&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52234&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52234&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
