Change date format (in DB or output) to dd/mm/yyyy - PHP MySQL

Question

MySQL stores the date in my database (by default) as \'YYYY-MM-DD\' The field type for my date is \'DATE\' (I do not need any time storage).. Is there a simple way to change

Answer 1

Just use the Mysql built in function DATE_FORMAT()

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(some_date_field, "Y/m/d");
