Default MySQL dialect question:

How do I format mySQL date?


I have a forum and would like to run a query where I can get the member id, topic id and date that it was read. I am able to do this but the date comes out in an unreable 10 digit number. How do I run the query so it reads as a regular date>

Below, I am looking for topic id 5160 to see all the member ids who read it and the dates.

SELECT 5160, read_mid, read_date FROM ibf_topics_read

Default MySQL answer. Re: How do I format mySQL date?

I think your date is stored as a UNIX timestamp. MySQL has functions to convert this to 'normal' date formats. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html for more info.

SELECT  read_mid,  FROM_UNIXTIME(read_date) AS read_date FROM ibf_topics_read WHERE id = 5160
