Hello guys (sorry, i'm from Polnad and my English probably isn't very good :) ) i have problem, because i have site on CMS MD-pro and format date of publish news in table is: '2004-11-14 16:45:10'

And my question is: How to convert this time format to XOOPS format (like this: 1106729433)

Hi,

Welcome to XOOPS =)

You need to use 'strtotime()' to convert this to a unix timestamp format.

ie:
$_date = "Mon 29-Jan-2005";

$_time = strtotime($_date);

This will give you want you want.

Thank you very much, maybe you have any idea how to automatically change this time value in above 100 records :)

I think that you might be able to do this with a MySQL command, but I am not 100% sure. I suppose the other way would be to use a script to clone and lock the database tables, change the field type and copt the timestamp over but I think that this would be the long way round.

Maybe you should try asking in a dedicated MySQL forum regarding this or someone else here might be able to help?

This should do what you want:

UPDATE tablename SET columnname = UNIX_TIMESTAMP(columnname)


Replace tablename and columnname by the correct names.

Ensure that you backup the database before trying it.

Thank you very much it works.
Maybe you know how to duplicate one row with values, because in XOOPS table has two rows for date (created and published) in MD-pro is only one :)
