I have a returned query, with documents that contain MongoDB dates.
If I simply echo
the $document['dateField']
, it displays as:
echo "Date Played: ".$round['roundDate']."<br>";
Date Played: 1620255600000
I would prefer this as:
Date Played: 15/04/2021
Or:
Date Played: 15th April 2021
I have tried, which wants an int
for the 2nd parameter:
echo "Date Played: ".date("DD/MM/YYYY", $round['roundDate'])."<br>";
But this errors with:
Fatal error : Uncaught TypeError: date(): Argument #2 ($timestamp) must be of type ?int, MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime given in /var/www/html/selectComp.php:39 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/selectComp.php(39): date(‘DD/MM/YYYY’, Object(MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime)) #1 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/selectComp.php on line 39
I know this is just a date conversion, but it always confuses me…
