Convert MySql DateTime stamp into JavaScript"s Date format

Image
By User


Does anyone know how I can take a mysql datetime stamp, such as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS and either parse it or convert it to work in JavaScript's Date() function, such as.. Date('YYYY, MM, DD, HH, MM, SS);



Thank you!

    Some of the answers given here are either overcomplicated or just will not work (at least, not in all browsers). If you take a step back, you can see that the MySQL timestamp has each component of time in the same order as the arguments required by the Date() constructor.

    All that's needed is a very simple split on the string:

    // Split timestamp into [ Y, M, D, h, m, s ]
    var t = "2010-06-09 13:12:01".split(/[- :]/);

    // Apply each element to the Date function
    var d = new Date(t[0], t[1]-1, t[2], t[3], t[4], t[5]);

    alert(d);
    // -> Wed Jun 09 2010 13:12:01 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time)

    To add to the excellent Andy E answer a function of common usage could be:

    Date.createFromMysql = function(mysql_string)
    {
    if(typeof mysql_string === 'string')
    {
    var t = mysql_string.split(/[- :]/);

    //when t[3], t[4] and t[5] are missing they defaults to zero
    return new Date(t[0], t[1] - 1, t[2], t[3] || 0, t[4] || 0, t[5] || 0);
    }

    return null;
    }


    In this way given a MySQL date/time in the form "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" or even the short form (only date) "YYYY-MM-DD" you can do:

    var d1 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20");
    var d2 = Date.createFromMysql("2011-02-20 17:16:00");
    alert("d1 year = " + d1.getFullYear());

    are you in php?

    var dateString = <? echo "'2000-09-10 00:00:00';"; ?>
    var myDate = new Date(dateString);

    Why not do this:

    var d = new Date.parseDate( "2000-09-10 00:00:00", 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
