date blues
 
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 Code:
<?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

  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 Code:
<?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 Code:
<?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

Rather than

Friday 23rd June

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

Gary King 07-24-2003 06:26 PM
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# 07-27-2003 10:43 PM
did you manage to have a look at this Gary ?

Gary King 07-27-2003 11:56 PM
Sorry, didn't know there was a new reply :o

Here's the answer :)

PHP Code:
<?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>";
?>
