Question

I have a date field in a mysql database which I am trying to display in a .php document. it currently displays in yyyy-mm-dd when I insert the following code:

<?php echo $row_rs_dealItem['dateend']; ?>

However I would like it to display in dd-mm-yyyy

I need the simplest/cleanest solution.

thanks!

Answer 1

I would use DateTime class

<?php
$date = new DateTime($row_rs_dealItem['dateend']);
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');
?>
