Question

I have a table with column date set to datetime. When i return and get the date from row it is only returning the date and not the time.

 $date = $row["date"];

I have tried to format as below and I get the error of:

Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, string given

 $date = date_format($row["date"], 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

How do I get the whole value?

Answer 1

in your select statement, cast the date into datetime. ex

SELECT CAST(date AS DATETIME) newDate

and retrieve it as

$dateTime = strtotime($row["newDate"]);
