Selecting Date from Current_timestamp Field
Hi Everyone,
I am creating a mySQL table where one column is last_updated. I have that as timestamp Type and default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. So as people fill out the form to get on the list it marks when they filled out the form.
Through Dreamweaver I am creating a page where the members of the list and shown with the last_updated column. My issue is I only want the date and not the time to populate the field.
I have tried DATE_FORMAT('%m %d %y', last_updated) AS DATE and for my table code I have
<td><?php echo $row_Recordset3['DATE']; ?></td>
It is not working but I am getting no errors just nothing shows up in the last_updated column on the page showing the members of the list.
I am not sure if I have to first separate the date and time from the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP data.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
