Time Stamp Help

Mar 5th, 2008

I am using current_timestamp and it works great but when I output the data onto a php page it looks like this:

2008-03-05 18:05:44

Anyone know how I can make it look like this?

03-05-2008 18:05:44

Use the date() function: http://php.net/date

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$time = time();
$date = date('d-m-L H:i:s' , $time);
 
echo $date; // 03-05-2008 18:05:44
$time = time();
$date = date('d-m-L H:i:s' , $time);

echo $date; // 03-05-2008 18:05:44

Here,I made a function just for you using explode function:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
//$var is your timestamp...
function x($var)
{
list($date,$time)=explode(" ", $var);
list($year,$month,$day)=explode("-",$date);
$newdate=$month."-".$day."-".$year." ".$time;
return $newdate;
}
//$var is your timestamp...
function x($var)
{
list($date,$time)=explode(" ", $var);
list($year,$month,$day)=explode("-",$date);
$newdate=$month."-".$day."-".$year." ".$time;
return $newdate;
}

Enjoy!!!
