Hi there!
I have the following date: 2010-04-19 18:31:27. I would like to convert this date to the dd/mm/yyyy format.
Can anyone give me some help?
Thanks in advance for the help, Best regards!

You can use a regular expression or some manual string fiddling, but I think I prefer:
date("d/m/Y", strtotime($str));

I find on a lot of our servers (operating on Australian time) I need to use: date("d/m/o", strtotime($str)); -> i.e 'o' for the year.

Hi there!I have already tried your solution but does not seems to work. Like I asked on my post, I just need the date in the dd/mm/yyyy format without the time component.Thanks for the help, Best regards!

Which part doesn't work? `strtotime("2010-04-19 18:31:27");` returns the seconds since the epoch, `1271716287` (for my TZ). `date()` takes a format string and an epoch int; the format string tells it what to return, and "d/m/Y" is days as a zero-padded int, months as a zero-padded int, and year as four digits. Since no time parameters are included in the format string (e.g. "d/m/Y h:i:s"), they won't be returned

There is also the DateTime object if you want to go that way: http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php

A:
If your date is in the format of a string use the explode function
array explode ( string $delimiter , string $string [, int $limit ] )
In the case of your code
$length = strrpos($oldDate," ");
$newDate = explode( "-" , substr($oldDate,$length);
$output = newDate[2]."/".newDate[1]."/".newDate[0];
I have not tested this particular snippet of code for bugs, but usually I use code very similar to this
