PHP Code:
<?php
function formatdate$s )
{
return 
date"d-m-Y"strtotime$s ) );
}

// how to use this function

echo formatdate$result"DateUpdated" ] );
?>
strtotime converts arbitrary strings to date and time value that can be used with other date related functions. date function formats a given date and time value back to a string.


This query will help:

PHP Code:
$query "SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT( DateUpdated, '%d-%m-%Y' ) AS FormattedDate FROM CharacterStats ORDER BY ID ASC"

The above query returns one additional column called FormattedDate that contains the DateUpdated in the desired format.
