changing numerical month into character

Hi Jason

Just wondering how I would get a date from, for example, 16-05-2013 which is selected from the datepicker to be formatted as 16 May 2013 - I have tried dd M yy but I get invalid format.

Also, I have been trying to change the datepicker style to 'flick' but for some reason cannot get it to change on the site.

Cheers

Jamie

dd and yy are not valid formatting characters in PHP

the correct format would be d M Y:

<?php echo(date("d M Y", strtotime("16-05-2013"))); ?>


After changing the date picker style, make sure to upload the entire web assist folder to the server and do a hard refresh (hold the control key while pressing F5)

but what I am struggling to get is when I select from the datepicker, the date that is entered into the field (and into the database) is 16 May 2013 (or whatever date has been selected) so that I can use it in that format elsewhere

at the moment I can only have it formatted (at the moment) as dd-mm-yy - anything else and i get invalid format .....

The date stored in the database must be in the format of yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

you cannot store dates into the database using the format you suggest.

the workaround is to use the date PHP function to convert the date on the pages where you show it.

gotcha... I see what you mean.
