How to show recordtime in DD/MM/YYYY Format?

Hi all quick question

using CC I am looking for a way to display the recordtime column in the format DD/MM/YY

I found the code below which will display the MM/DD/YYYY format

<?php
$date=explode(' ',$MyRow->recordtime);
echo $date[("0")];
?>

I have played with it to try and get it the way i need it but no joy.

anyone know how I can do this?

Hi darrenhallinan ,

Please try

<?php
$date = strtotime($MyRow->recordtime);
$date = date('m/d/Y', $date);
?>
. . . 
<?php echo $date; ?>

Bob

<?php
$date = strtotime($MyRow->recordtime);
$date = date('m/d/Y', $date);
?>
. . . 
<?php echo $date; ?>

Tried that Bob

The result is that each date shows as 01/01/1970

close but no cigar!

Hi darrenhallinan,

Please add some intermediate echo statements to see what the value is at each step. It could be that $myRow->recordtime is empty, or I've got the syntax wrong . . .

I think the syntax may be wrong, I have same issue and I too get 01/01/1970

Have checked recordtime and it is not empty.

This is what I have in the Body:

<?php
$date = strtotime($MyRow->recordtime);
$date = date('d/m/Y', $date);
?>
<tr><td class="table_norm" align="center">{stu_surname}</td><td class="table_norm">{stu_firstname}</td><td class="table_norm">{userscode}</td><td class="table_norm">{role}</td>
<td class="table_norm">
<?php echo $date; ?></td>
<td class="table_norm">{schoolcode}</td><td class="table_norm" align="center"><a href='index.php?option=com_chronocontact&chronoformname=FA001_records&id={cf_id}'>View</a></td><td class="table_norm">{edit_record}</td><td class="table_norm">{delete_record}</td></tr>

Hello to all!

The solution is...

<?php
	$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d - H:i:s', $dataItem->recordtime);
	echo $date->format('l, d \d\e F \d\e Y');
?>

Greetings😀 !

Armando,

Thanks for your suggestion.

When I input your code I am given the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method DateTime::createFromFormat() in (root removed by me)/components/com_chronoconnectivity/libraries/connection.php(303) : eval()'d code on line 2

Hi Laus,

Please check the PHP manual reference; the function that Armando has used is only available from PHP 5.3.0

Ah, that explains it, I am using 5.2.17
