Convert MySql DateTime stamp into JavaScript's Date format

Question

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!

Answer 1

A quick search in google provided this:

 function mysqlTimeStampToDate(timestamp) {
    //function parses mysql datetime string and returns javascript Date object
    //input has to be in this format: 2007-06-05 15:26:02
    var regex=/^([0-9]{2,4})-([0-1][0-9])-([0-3][0-9]) (?:([0-2][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]))?$/;
    var parts=timestamp.replace(regex,"$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6").split(' ');
    return new Date(parts[0],parts[1]-1,parts[2],parts[3],parts[4],parts[5]);
  }

Answer 2

Assuming that mysql_date contains the date in MySQL format:

var js_date=new Date(mysql_date.replace(/[-: ]/g,', '))

Answer 3

are you in php?

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

Answer 4

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)

Answer 5

Why not do this: var d = new Date.parseDate( "2000-09-10 00:00:00", 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
