Description

bool ibase_timefmt ( string $format [, int $columntype = IBASE_TIMESTAMP ] )

Sets the format of timestamp, date or time type columns returned from queries.

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

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

Parameters

format: Internally, the columns are formatted by c-function strftime(), so refer to its documentation regarding to the format of the string.
columntype: columntype is one of the constants IBASE_TIMESTAMP, IBASE_DATE and IBASE_TIME. If omitted, defaults to IBASE_TIMESTAMP for backwards compatibility.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

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);

}
