You can simply use the fromtimestamp function from the DateTime module to get a date from a UNIX timestamp. This function takes the timestamp as input and returns the corresponding DateTime object to timestamp.
To get a day of week from a timestamp, use the DAYOFWEEK() function: -- returns 1-7 (integer), where 1 is Sunday and 7 is Saturday SELECT dayofweek('2018-12-12'); -- returns the string day name like Monday, Tuesday, etc SELECT dayname(now()); To convert a timestamp to a unix timestamp (integer seconds):
DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(`user.registration`), '%e %b %Y') AS 'date_formatted'
To just get a date you can cast
it
cast(user.registration as date)
and to get a specific format use date_format
date_format(registration, '%Y-%m-%d')
Make the table with an integer timestamp:
mysql> create table foo(id INT, mytimestamp INT(11));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Insert some values
mysql> insert into foo values(1, 1381262848);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
Take a look
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+-------------+
| id | mytimestamp |
+------+-------------+
| 1 | 1381262848 |
+------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Convert the number to a timestamp:
mysql> select id, from_unixtime(mytimestamp) from foo;
+------+----------------------------+
| id | from_unixtime(mytimestamp) |
+------+----------------------------+
| 1 | 2013-10-08 16:07:28 |
+------+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Convert it into a readable format:
mysql> select id, from_unixtime(mytimestamp, '%Y %D %M %H:%i:%s') from foo;
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
| id | from_unixtime(mytimestamp, '%Y %D %M %H:%i:%s') |
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | 2013 8th October 04:07:28 |
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If the registration
field is indeed of type TIMESTAMP
you should be able to just do:
$sql = "SELECT user.email,
info.name,
DATE(user.registration),
info.news
FROM user,
info
WHERE user.id = info.id ";
and the registration should be showing as yyyy-mm-dd
Just use mysql's DATE function:
mysql> select DATE(mytimestamp) from foo;
You should convert timestamp
to date
.
select FROM_UNIXTIME(user.registration, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s') AS 'date_formatted'
FROM_UNIXTIME
