Change date format (in DB or output) to dd/mm/yyyy - PHP MySQL

Question

MySQL stores the date in my database (by default) as \'YYYY-MM-DD\' The field type for my date is \'DATE\' (I do not need any time storage).. Is there a simple way to change

Answer 1

$dtShowDate = $_POST['dtShowDate']; $date =explode('-', $dtShowDate)0; $showdate = $date[2]."-".$date[0]."-".$date[1];

Set Date as per your need

Answer 2

This mysql function will return the correct format in the result

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_field, "%M %d %Y");
