MySQL语法错误-date_format

Question

I am trying to format a datetime field in php, but i get this error code:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that  
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax  
to use near 'DATE_FORMAT(date, '%b %d 

This is my whole code:

SELECT * FROM topics, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%b %d %Y, %h:%i %p') AS f_date  

I've checked everything, this is usually how I do my formatting, compared the code to other formattings ive done.
Any help with what's wrong?

Answer 1

尝试SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%b %d %Y, %h:%i %p') AS f_date FROM topics

Answer 2

You can't select all (*) and then add columns with that syntax. It can be done like this:

SELECT topics.*, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%b %d %Y, %h:%i %p') AS f_date FROM topics

Edit: as @Vyacheslav Voronchuk points out, you can use just * instead of topics.* if you only query a single table.
