Question

In my mysql database I have dates like this: 2011-01-06 09:39:114525

and I need to extraxt separately years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds from it.

So I need to extract from above example:

2011
01
06
09
39
11

How can I do it ?

Answer 1

In MySQL, just do MONTH(date), YEAR(date), etc. In PHP, you can do date('g', strtotime($datefromsql)) to get, for example, the 12-hour format hour from the date.

So in your above example, you could either do

SELECT YEAR(date), 
       MONTH(date), 
       DAYOFMONTH(date), 
       HOUR(date), 
       MINUTE(date), 
       SECOND(date)

or in PHP,

$time = strtotime($datefromsql);
echo date('Y', $time);
echo date('m', $time);
echo date('d', $time);
echo date('h', $time);
echo date('i', $time);
echo date('s', $time);
