  • Help with a bit of PHP

    • Hi all,

      Any chance of a hand with a bit of PHP that I am struggling with?

      I am using the AEC extention for Joomla which stores the start and expiry date of site members in a datetime format in MySQL.

      I am able to get the dates from the database through a function but it prints it like this:
      2011-09-20 19:10:50

      I would like it like this though:
      20 September 2011

      The bit of code that gets the info is as follows:
       
<?php
echo JText::_('MEM_SIGNUP') . $subscription->signup_date;  //Membership Start Date ?><br>
 
      I am just not sure where to put the php formatting stuff.

      Any help much appreciated.

    • Cheers Ad,

      That did not work what i ended up with was a date of 1 January 1970 (PHP Starting date??).

      This is really starting to bug me now as i know it is possible just do not know how to achieve it.

      Any other thoughts?

    • Hmm ok, it was picking up the date as a text field not a date.
      Try this...
       
<?php
echo JText::_('MEM_SIGNUP') . date("d F Y", strtotime($subscription->signup_date));
?>
<br>
