Displaying the date without the time?

[Steve]

I ran across a tip that makes each topic show the date and time it started but I'd like it to do it without the time part.

How would I change this:

Code Select Expand

',$topic['first_post']['time'],'

to accomplish that?

You should be able to get the timestamp to a date:

That's going to take a lot of studying for me as it's over my head and I'm not sure it's worth it.

Thanks for the reply.

No, it should be fairly easy (I think )

Can you point me to that trick?

edit: this should work:

Code Select Expand

date('Y-m-d', $topic['first_post']['timestamp'])
You can play with that "Y-M-d" format, check what they mean with http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Something like this, would show the date just like SMF does, without the time.
Like this: October 12, 2014

Code Select Expand

' ,date('F d, Y', $topic['first_post']['timestamp']), '

I'll have to get the author's permission as it's not posted on this board.

Code Select Expand

' ,date('F d, Y', $topic['first_post']['timestamp']), '

Awesome!
