从strtotime转换为日期

Question

Im trying to convert the timestamp into a date:

echo '<td>' . strtotime(mysql_result($result,$i,"datum_overboeking")) = date('d-m-Y'). '</td>';

This gives me an error: Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context

I want the strtotime output do an input in the date ('dm-y') so it will output the given date format.

update:

Perfect it works, thanks !

But how can you find this way of correct syntax construction because Im always struggling how to correctly build up a syntax like this ?

Answer 1

Use the second parameter of the date function.

date('d-m-Y', strtotime(mysql_result($result,$i,"datum_overboeking")));

look at the date function

Answer 2

Maybe you can use something like this:

     <?php
    $overboeking = mysql_result($result,$i,"datum_overboeking");

    try {
        $date = new DateTime($overboeking);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
        exit(1);
    }

    echo '<td>'.$date->format('d-m-Y').'</td>';
    ?>
