I am unable to assign only date to a php variable from datetime
field of a MySQL table. I am using PHP 4, I know how to do it in PHP 5.
Can someone help as to what is missing from the below php code.
$dc = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM INVHDR WHERE Invdate BETWEEN '2011-04-01' AND '2012-03-31'"); while ($dc2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($dc)) { $invno = $dc2['Invno']; // Here Invno is a datetime field type $invdat3 = $dc2['Invdate']; $date_array = explode("-", $invdat3); $invdat = sprintf('%02d/%02d/%4d', $date_array[2], $date_array[1], $date_array[0]); }

If you just want to display the date portion, you could use the DateTime
class:
echo DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d H:i:s", "2012-12-24 12:13:14")->format("d/m/Y"); // 24/12/2012
//Edited for double echo typo.
