Hello,yes, you are missing it.
There seems to be very few date manupulation functions in php.
In my php form I am displaying select combos for day, month and year.
Now while updating the form I want to retrieve the date and take out day,
month and year from that date and display the correct selection in the
combo. I could not find any function like say
day($dbdate);
month($dbdate);
year($dbdate);
Am I missing something ? Is there anyway to accomplish the above ? or I
will have to store these three values separatly in the database rather than
as a date.
you need to do the opposite. first read this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
and everything will become clear...
btw, if the current date is jan 1, 2000, then
$day = date ("d");
$month = date ("m");
$year = "date ("y");
echo $day; // would return "01"
echo $month; // would return "01"
echo 4year; //would return "00"
