Convert timestamp to date in MYSQL
Make the table with an integer timestamp:
mysql> create table foo(id INT, mytimestamp INT(11));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Insert some values
mysql> insert into foo values(1, 1381262848);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
Take a look
mysql> select * from foo;
+------+-------------+
| id | mytimestamp |
+------+-------------+
| 1 | 1381262848 |
+------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Convert the number to a timestamp:
mysql> select id, from_unixtime(mytimestamp) from foo;
+------+----------------------------+
| id | from_unixtime(mytimestamp) |
+------+----------------------------+
| 1 | 2013-10-08 16:07:28 |
+------+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Convert it into a readable format:
mysql> select id, from_unixtime(mytimestamp, '%Y %D %M %H:%i:%s') from foo;
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
| id | from_unixtime(mytimestamp, '%Y %D %M %H:%i:%s') |
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
| 1 | 2013 8th October 04:07:28 |
+------+-------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If the registration
field is indeed of type TIMESTAMP
you should be able to just do:
$sql = "SELECT user.email,
info.name,
DATE(user.registration),
info.news
FROM user,
info
WHERE user.id = info.id ";
and the registration should be showing as yyyy-mm-dd
