Formatting Curdate in php

[DoD]

the curdate() function in mysql is usefull...

however, how can i use php to manipulate this date so i can display it as i wish... or sort it by date (maybe, by month not actual date?)

In the database it is:

2002-11-23

How would i be able to format it in php to 23/11/2002 ?

Also.

how could i make it so the script would see if the date is more than 24 hours old?

Thanks 🙂

ereg( "([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})$", $dateInput, $dateSplit );
echo $dateSplit[3]."/".$dateSplit[2]."/".$dateSplit[1];
