How to convert DateTime to VarChar

Example

How do you convert a SQL datetime (for example 08/14/2012 1:05:18 PM ) to the mysql way ( that is Y-m-d H:i:s )?

Answer 1

Depends on where you are wanting to convert it.

To convert in your SQL directly:

convert(varchar(23), getdate(), 121)

PHP using the date and strtotime functions:

date("Y-m-d H:i:s ", strtotime("08/14/2012 1:05:18 PM"));
