Actually strtotime accepts all kinds of things... "Last week
Thursday midnight" for example works perfectly.
You could do an explode on the field and then reorder the array
anyway that you want...
<?PHP
$date = "13/01/2008";
$datearray = explode("/", $date);
echo $datearray[1] ."/". $datearray[0] . "/" . $datearray[2];
?>
Or something like that :)
That wasn't tested but should give you an idea...
php.net/explode for more info.
This is what I was doing before (which is a bit lame) so I am
looking for a more elegant way using timestamps.
Well, If it's not already a timestamp, you can use mktime() to make
it one, once it is then you should just be able to:
Of course this means that I will explode the date anyway so I will
not need the intermediate transformation into timestamp.
I was just giving that as an option incase it's not already a
timestamp :)
I usually convert to timestamps as soon as the dates are given to the
application and store them in the database.
<?PHP
$timestamp ="1222354037";
echo date("d/m/y h:i:s", $timestamp);
?>
to format and display it. I'm using that on a time card application
right now and it's working great.
Is that more what you are looking for?
Actually this means that strtotime() was made with Americans only in
mind... :-) .
As an American, I don't see a big issue with that :P But what Stut
said is more then likely true... :)
