date-format

I have imported a CSV file with 2 long columns of dates. These dates are in the US format Aug/28/2013 and I want them to be in the standard UK dd/mm/yyyy format.

Can anyone rid me of these awful US dates please? Another solution without using a formula: Select the relevant columns Choose Data → Text to Columns… Select “Delimited” and click Next Untick all delimiters and click Next Select data column format “Date: MDY” and

Does anyone could help me how to convert data from email header? I have the next date format from email header: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:59:49 -0400 I need to convert them into mysql Date, or timestamp. Thanks! You should be using DateTime for this, specifically DateTime::createFromFormat() : $str = 'Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:59:49 -0400'; $date = DateTime::createFromFormat( 'D, d M Y H:i:s O', $str); Now, you have a Date object in $date , and you can grab the unix timestamp (if that's what you want), or you can format it into a date for MySQL. echo $date->getTimestamp(); // Outputs: 1272506389 echo

Javascript definitely isn't my strongest point. I've been attempting this for a couple of hours now and seem to be getting stuck with date formatting somewhere. I have a form where a user selected a date (dd/mm/yyyy) and then this date will be taken and 2 weeks will be added to it and then date will be copied to another form field. My latest attempt below isn't even adding a date yet just copying the selected date in one form field to another, if I select '03/02/2012', it outputs 'Fri Mar 02 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)', so its outputting in American format as well as the full

I have thousands of dates in the following format: 2011-10-02T23:25:42Z (aka ISO 8601 in UTC) What MySQL data type should I use for storing such a ISO8601 date in a MySQL database? E.g.

And what would be the best way to convert the above PHP string for MySQL storage? (I'm guessing date_default_timezone_set('UTC'); would be used?) I think that keeping your date-time values in field of type DATETIME
