Date Format w/ PHP Function

Hi Folks.

My DB stores a timestamp like this: YYMMDDHHmm. I have a PHP function that'll convert it to something more useful.. If I was pulling the data by hand and then displaying it all via PHP this wouldn't be a big deal... how can I incorporate this function with the Merge call to TBS?

The Code takes the format in my DB and converts it to a valid timestamp value that I can throw into the PHP date() function.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can use parameter 'onformat' ans use a custom function to re-format the data.

If you custom function convert your string into a time stamp, then you can use it, combined with parameter 'frm' which enables you to format a timestamp into usual date formats.

OK.. sounds like you've already handled this before..

Can you give me an idea of what the Merge call would look like for that? Many thanks.

There is an example at the Example page.
It is called "Event functions".
The syntax of the functions are also explained in the manual.
