mysql - Use of date function in PHP to output a user-friendly date -
i have mysql database column named dateadded.
i'd echo readable date/time.
here simplified version of code have:
$result = mysql_query(" select listitem, dateadded lists userid = '" . $currentid . "' "); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // make date nicer $dateadded = date('d-m-y',$row['dateadded']); echo $row['listitem'] . ","; echo $dateadded; echo "<br />"; }
is use of date function best way output user-friendly date?
thanks taking look,
if don't plan on outputting dates beyond 2038, fine using date()
.
otherwise, use php's datetime
doesn't have limitation, or mysql's date formatting functions format date directly in database.
however, seem storing timestamp in database. have considered switching datetime
field?
