date blues

[Dave#]

I have a script that pulls the latest eventd from my VB, the problem is that the date gets pulled in American rather than European format:

<?php

include('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, eventdate, eventid, subject
FROM calendar_events
WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
echo "<ul>";
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
echo "<li><font size=\"1\">".$event['eventdate']." <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
";
}
} else {
echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>

anyone help me get the date in European Format?

dd-mm-yy

TIA

<?php

include('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, eventdate, eventid, subject
FROM calendar_events
WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
echo "<ul>";
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
list($year,$month,$day)=split("-",$event['eventdate']);
echo "<li><font size=\"1\">$day-$month-$year <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
";
}
} else {
echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>

Thanks Gary -

I ended up doing it like this:

<?php

include('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate,'%d %M') AS date, eventdate, eventid, subject
FROM calendar_events
WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
echo "<ul>";
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
echo "<li><font size=\"1\">".$event['date']." <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
";
}
} else {
echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>


The only problem with this is I can't seem to change the date format to support the actual day - like Friday 13th September

cheers

Here you go :)
I changed include() to require(), you should use require instead of include, because the script becomes useless if it can't include the global.php
Only use include() if the script can still execute without including the file.

<?php

require('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate,'%d %M') AS date, eventdate, eventid, subject
FROM calendar_events
WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
echo "<ul>";
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$timestring=strtotime($event['date']);
$date=date("l jS F",$timestring);
echo "<li><font size=\"1\">".$date." <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
";
}
} else {
echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>

This gives me the date like

2003-07-23

Rather than

Friday 23rd June

Gary - any idea why the code would give the icorrect day for dates in 2004?

[Gary King]

Looks fine to me.

Could you point out which one is incorrect?

the last one for example

Friday 9th May Coventry (A)

Should say Sunday, I think all the days are wrong in 2004

[Dave#]

did you manage to have a look at this Gary ?

Sorry, didn't know there was a new reply :o

Here's the answer :)

<?php

require('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, eventdate AS date, eventdate, eventid, subject
FROM calendar_events
WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
echo "<ul>";
while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
$timestring=strtotime($event['date']);
$date=date("l jS F",$timestring);
echo "<li><font size=\"1\">".$date." <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
";
}
} else {
echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>
