Format Date

Published in: PHP 

This is just a wrapper for PHP's date() function which allows you to pass a timestamp or a string to be formatted as specified. By default it returns the current date formatted as a MySQL datetime value.

Plain TextExpand 
  1. function dater($format = "", $date = "")
  2. {
  3. 	if($format == "") $format = "Y-m-d H:i:s";
  4. 	if($date == "") $date = time();
  5.  
  6. 	$converted = strtotime($date);
  7. 	if($converted === false)
  8. 		return date($format, $date);
  9. 	else
  10. 		return date($format, $converted);
  11. }
