Question

How can I convert an integer into a date format like 2012-12-12 for insertion in an XML document?

<Feed>
<order>
<Order>
<orderid>71</orderid>
<login>krishna</login>
<date>1123213230</date>

I’ve used the below code:

$_xml .= "\t<date>" . $n['date'] . "</date>\r\n";

You can use FROM_UNIXTIME(column_name, '%Y-%m-%d') in your MySQL query.

Or you can just use date('Y-m-d', $n['date']).

Also, you can use PHP_EOL and you won’t have to manually add "\r\n" to the end of your strings.
