Convert DateTime class to string

date, php, sql, sql-server, string

Solution

in php you can simply use `date_format($date, 'Y-m-d')`

<?php
$date = date_create('2013-11-23 05:06:07');
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');
?>

returns 2013-11-23

Problem

Currently I am retrieving a date from mssql with the data type of small date time. The data is : `2013-03-12 00:00:00` I want to store it in a variable and then display on a text box. And the format I want to display is just `2013-03-12` on the text box. The message I get is: catchable fatal error : Object of class DateTime could not be converted to string. Any idea?
