Use "date" to format it as you can see here:

date('d/m/Y H:i:s',strtotime($strThatContainsTheMySQLReturnedDate))

You can get more information here[^].

Hope this helps! :thumbsup:

This will allow you to get the text formatted in the way you desire... so inside the database you can get the date and time stored in the native format and then, when getting values, formatting them to show them to the user in the desired way... i.e. using date to format the resulting text using the template/mask from the strtotime(stringfromDatabase)... The code you can see in the original answer is all the code you need to get it working. I hope to have clarified that a little bit more... ;)
