ibase_timefmt

Description

int ibase_timefmt ( string format [, int columntype] )

Sets the format of timestamp, date or time type columns returned from queries. Internally, the columns are formatted by c-function strftime(), so refer to its documentation regarding to the format of the string. columntype is one of the constants IBASE_TIMESTAMP, IBASE_DATE and IBASE_TIME. If omitted, defaults to IBASE_TIMESTAMP for backwards compatibility.


<?php
    /* InterBase 6 TIME-type columns will be returned in
     * the form '05 hours 37 minutes'. */
    ibase_timefmt("%H hours %M minutes", IBASE_TIME);
?>

You can set defaults for these formats with the PHP configuration directives ibase.timestampformat, ibase.dateformat and ibase.timeformat.

注: This function has been removed from PHP 5, use ini_set() instead.

I use this code (for easy migration from PHP4 to PHP5):



/**

 * Constant definitions that has been removed from PHP 5

*/

const IBASE_DATE = "ibase.dateformat";

const IBASE_TIME = "ibase.timeformat";

const IBASE_TIMESTAMP = "ibase.timestampformat";



/**

 * Sets the format of timestamp, date or time type

 * columns returned from queries

*/

function ibase_timefmt($format, $where = IBASE_TIMESTAMP)

{

 ini_set($where, $format);

}
