> how do i change the format of a MySQL timestamp (i.e hh:mm:ss DD/MM/YYYY > instead of YYYYMMDDhhmmss) retrieved from a mysql database with php? Use SELECT TO_UNIXTIME(your_column) FROM table ... And then use date() in PHP to format the result to your liking. Or, you can use DATE_FORMAT() in your query to format the result to your liking. ---John W. Holmes...
