Use date() and strtotime() together. strtotime will convert date string
into integer timestamp. Still have any questions, check these two
functions online plz.

Subject: [PHP] datetime
I am using a mssql database and I have a question regarding the datetime
type. When I write a date to the database it store the date in the
following
format:
6/8/03
But when I extract the date from the database it returns the value in the
following format:
Jun 8 2003 12:00AM
Is there a nice function available in php that will format the date based
upon certain specification. I know that date() exists, but I that means I
would have to use mktime() which would require parsing the entire string
and
breaking the string into the day, the month, the year. Furthermore, I
would
then need a switch statement to convert the value Jun into the value 6.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Dale
