MKTIME, PHP date/timestamp YYYY-MM-DD

Question

I need to query MySQL for the current date (from PHP) in YYYY-MM-DD format... anyone?

Answer 1

MySQL:

You can do in query:

select curdate()

PHP

echo date('Y-m-d');

If you want to pass your own date format:

echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($your_date));

Answer 2

date("Y-m-d") should give you the current date in that format.

Answer 3

SELECT CURDATE();

Answer 4

The function I think you are looking for is

$datetime = strtotime($MySQLDateResponse);

$MySQLDatResponse being the date you get back from MySQL. This will give you a PHP time stamp. You can then convert that timestamp into any date format you want. For the one you listed it's

date("Y-m-d", $datetime);

Hope that helps
