PHP How to return datetime(6) from Mysql?

Question

When I query a dateTime(6) PHP is truncating my 6 fractional seconds.

Here is an example of my php code:

$sql = \'SELECT date FROM tbl\';
        $         


        

Answer 1

It's crazy this still isn't officially supported by mysqli in PHP 7.1, but anyway, here's a work around.

select concat(`DateTime6`)`DateTime6` from ...

Basically casting it as a string worked for me, as ugly as that is.
