Hi! First, I'm posting this bug here because Phakt Bugtracker seems to be out of service.

(Phakt 1.0.6)
When I apply a date format to a Dynamic Text causes the following error:

Warning: unexpected error in date() in c:/archivos de programa/merlin desktop/apache/htdocs/techlink/agro/tmp4gsgsldhbc.php on line 16

The field type in my MySQL table is 'timestamp'.
Can you help me please?
Thanks

Sebastian Veggiani

Please post the code from your page that is highlighted by the error message.

The problem here is very likely to do with Locale as the DoDateTime function presumes that your timestamp information is stored in the following format :-

9999-99-99 99:99:99

Where the nines indicate a numeric digit. However, without seeing the code that is causing you the problem, this is purely as guess.

I have also run into the same problem. If I don't apply date formatting, it works fine but comes up in MySQL format YYYY-DD-MM.
The error I'm getting is:
Warning: unexpected error in date() in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\sandbox\details.php on line 19
Line 19 is part of the PHP function for 'DoDateTime':
&lt;?php function DoDateTime($theObject, $NamedFormat) {
ereg("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2}) ([0-9]{2})<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>[0-9]{2})<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>[0-9]{2})", $theObject, $tgRegs);
$parsedDate=date($NamedFormat, mktime($tgRegs[4],$tgRegs[5],$tgRegs[6],$tgRegs[2],$tgRegs[3],$tgRegs[1]));
return $parsedDate;
}
?&gt;
I have 2 date fields: startdate and enddate. They're both date fields and do not have the time thrown in.
I bet it's something about that regex, but I'm so bad at 'em that I can't tell.

I've still the same problem, I think I was the only that got this error, but the error looks exactly the same to the yours.
This error doesn't exists in Phakt 0.8.3 or 1.0.1

The DoDateTime function has not changed since it was first introduced, and therefore if this issue does not exist for you in other versions of PHAkT, then it is likely either a useage issue, or an ADODB issue.

Hi,

to adress this issue, I would strongly recommend that you'd use the MySQL built-in date and time function.

If you want to convert a timestamp into a date, then you can use :

year()
month()
dayofmonth()

then, in your query use the following :

<b>
SELECT ..., concat(dayofmonth(timestp),'/',month(timestp),'/',year(timestp)) as date,... FROM myTable
</b>

In this example I presumed that your Timestamp is called timestp, just change this according to your table info.

There are plenty of function to let you do, almost whatever you'd want.

P.S. Manipulating date directly in MySQL is much quickier than in PHP (IMHO)


--- Better to die trying, than never try at all ---

Rather than building this into your SQL query (which then makes it database dependant) you can use the ADODB functions DBDate() and DBTime(). To find more information on these functions consult the Readme.htm in your ADODB directory.

Using these functions will allow your code to become portable. Essentially what they do is to format your date according to the DB system that is being used.

Hehe, yes I agree, sorry I'm sometime too MySQL minded <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

But you're definitely right about it Tim!!
