Question

Im trying to display my Date field from my MySQL database.

format is 2012-01-01 to 2012-01-31

Is there a way to display the month of January to 0 instead of 1?

I used strtotime to change its format

date('Y, n, j',strtotime($s['date']))

but this showed

2012, 1, 1

I want to display this as

2012, 0, 1

Answer 1

You can always do something like:

$time = strtotime($s['date']);
$str = date('Y, ', $time);
$str .= intval(date('n', $time)) - 1;
$str .= date(', j', $time);

Not sure this is the best/only way, but it should work.
