I am new to MySQL and can't seem to find a answer to convert a date prompt to UK date. Where the user can enter the date in the format of 'dd-mm-yyyy'.
The actual field is in unixtimestamp as well. What I am trying to do is have the user filter between 2 date period example.
where datefield between (unixtimestamp) and (unixtimestamp)
(the date entered will have to be in the format 'dd-mm-yyyy'
If anyone can shed some light, it will be greatly appreciated
use mysql str_to_date. The STR_TO_DATE() converts the str string into a date value based on the fmt format string.
between str_to_date(date,'%d-%m-%Y') and str_to_date(date,'%d-%m-%Y')
I suggest you to create a function in your application to convert from the UK format dd-mm-yyyy to the mysql format yyyy-mm-dd, this way will send the parameters in the correct format.
select FROM_UNIXTIME(dateadded,"%d/%m/%y"), dateadded, FROM_UNIXTIME(dateadded,"dd/mm/yy")
from purchase_orders
where str_to_date(FROM_UNIXTIME(dateadded, "%d/%m/%Y"),'%d/%m/%Y')
between str_to_date("01/08/15",'%d/%m/%Y') and str_to_date("08/11/15",'%d/%m/%Y')

Please dont close this questions as its a different one not asked before thanks!!!
DATE_FORMAT(emp.doj,'%d-%m-%Y') as doj
You have not need to use STR_TO_DATE. use only DATE_FORMAT. It should be work.
I want to format
1/2/55
05/06/82
9-15-58
2/12/65
02-17-1967
2007-06-12

You use mysql DATE_FORMAT() method.

I need to convert varchar string data to time format in mysql.
For example,
I have a varchar column in table which stores time. The accepted values should be like 9:30 AM or 1200 PM. But currently it has either blank values or it has values like 9.30am or 12:00
There are many records like this, so cannot update manually.
Ithere any work around or function or procedure to do so?
please help.
Thanks
You can use the STR_TO_DATE() MySQL function to convert any string to a date.
Additionally you can use TIME() to extract the time portion of a datetime. A combination of both function is used to convert an arbitrary date string to a datetime and then you can extract the time portion from it as a valid MySQL TIME.
By default MySQL functions follow standard format but custom format can be specified and if your values don't use the international formats you'll need to check with the documentation and provide the format your system is using.
I got in my table two types:
hour_Event in type date
date_Event in type datetime
I would like hour_Event to be formatted to hh:mm
and date_Event to be dd/mm/yyyy
I use PHPMyAdmin and im new with MySQL so I dont know how to change the format and for what.
How do I do it?
**DATE_FORMAT(hour_Event,'%h:%i')** will give you hour_Event in hh:mm
and
**DATE_FORMAT(date_Event,'%d/%m/%Y')** will give you date_Event in dd/mm/yyyy
You could change the format using php before you insert data or after retrieving themfrom your database according to your needs.You could use DateTime / strtotime() & date(). In most cases a single timestamp field in your table is enough for an event.
Have a look here:
Convert one date format into another in PHP
Also you could format your field according to your needs with mysql for example:
DATE_FORMAT(tables.field, '%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s') AS 'new_name'
Have a look about it here:

Does anyone know how to insert into column(of date type) date in the format of dd-mm-yyyy?
I'm using calendar, and it selects days like dd-mm-yyyy, but it can't be inserted because of the format that uses mysql by default (yyyy-mm-dd).
The problem is, that I need to compare dates that has been inserted by the calendar and the dates that has been automatically inserted with current_date function. Basicly I have column DoR (date_of_registration) and Status. I've made DoR of date type, and Status of varchar(). In the Status I use Calendar to insert the date. Thus, I've compared it anyway but it gives strange results. I guess it is not comparing correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Convert the output from calendar into date format like this
$cal_date=17-08-2012;
$date=date('Y-m-d',strtotime($cal_date));
echo $date; //gives date as 2012-08-17
Now you can insert this date into mysql and do comparisons
select str_to_date('31-12-2012', '%d-%m-%Y')
See STR_TO_DATE
All you need are these two functions:
STR_TO_DATE()
and
DATE_FORMAT()
Please, always store dates as a DATE type in MySQL. If you need to select it in another form, use the correct string function DATE_FORMAT!
You don't need to insert database as dd-mm-yyyy. You have to user date format. If you are writing code in php you can parse date what every type you want
Select datetime for database. And insert date data date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); when you want to echo date different formats like
echo date('d-m-Y', strtotime('2012-08-17 19:00:00'));
There is also another way to store the date like, if you are choose that
`<input type="date" name="bdate" />
`
then it directly store the date in to database in yyyy-MM-DD Format.
Here my text field format is dd-mm-yyyy.
Here you don't have to convert the string using strtotime()
