Question

Hello I have this string that will generate the time that I then insert in the db

$time=mktime(date('G'),date('i'),date('s'));
$NowisTime=date('Gis',$time);

Now I need to readd colons to this string: :

I need it to be generated and inserted without colons, but shown in another place with colons reinserted, so that it will look like this:

13:24:09

Instead of:

132409

The same is for $todaydate = date('Ymd');

That should become then 2011-06-16

How can I do that?

Counting the words is not good, since we can have more or less types depending by the actual time and date.

Please advise

Thank you!

FOR WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND: this values are taken from the DB so I cannot use : date(‘Y-m-d’); in a values taken from the db……..

Answer 1

The same is for $todaydate =
date(‘Ymd’);

That should become then 2011-06-16

For this one, try :

date('Y-m-d');

Similar for your Other part.

Edit ::
For Date :

$time = “time from database”;
$unixtimestamp = strtotime ( $time) ;
$date = date(‘Y-m-d’, $unixtimestamp);

For time :

$time = strtotime("time from database"); 
$yourtime = date("H:i:s", $time);
