Hi i have had a website done for me its a diary script.
it shows the date as for example 2021-09-10
the code bit that shows this is
{{$dairy->date_time}}
how do change this to show 10-09-2021 or even Friday 10th Sept 2021
thanks
Well, that is sort of a loaded question… It really depends on what the results of your object is.
What that means is that you are using some sort of template or word-press site. The {} shows us that.
Well, first if the output of $dairy->date_time is a time-formatted data you can just use this type of code to display it…
date_format($dairy->date_time, "d-m-Y H:i:s")
OR without the time:
date_format($dairy->date_time, "d-m-Y")
BUT, if the data is a string, you would have to use the PHP function to turn it into a date object.
Something like this:
$date = date_create("2013-03-15");
echo date_format($date, "d-m-Y");
OR
$date = date_create($dairy->date_time);
echo date_format($date, "d-m-Y");
There are hundreds of combinations of date formats. Here is a link listing most of them: Date-Formats
thank you for your advice
You are very welcome!
Oh, also, if it is a string, you can convert it to a date format with the PHP stringtotime fucntion…
