mysql timestamp formatting HELP

[narked]

Hi,

I just noticed one of my applications does not work on the mysql 5 because of the new timestamp formatting.

I have like 100 .php archives and I do not want to modify all files to work with this format. is there an easy way to solve this?

I read somewhere about putting a "+ 0" in the query but that dowes not work for me because I use: select * from ... and then I use $myVariable = $row[4]

I tried $row[4 + 0] but it does not work

I tried "select *, date + 0 from.." but does not work because I use $row[4] and not $row['date'];

any ideas..??

is there anyway to configure mysql to use the old TIMESTAMP format?
