Date format problems

Hi,

I wish to use the date format : day month year (06-06-2012) throughout my application. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to set the default date format to this format? If not, I have tried the following in a view file. Everything works fine until I save the form. Thereafter, it returns 01-01-1970 for any date I input.Here is the code:

 <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'leaveDate').' '; ?>

<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(

	'name' => CHtml::activeName($model, 'leaveDate'),

	'model'=>$model,

	'value' => date('d-m-Y',strtotime($model->leaveDate)),

	'options'=>array(

	'showAnim'=>'fold',

	'dateFormat' => 'dd-mm-yy',

	),

	));    ?> 

Thanks

Hi,

i think you must use attribute for saving your field.

When you’re dealing with date, it seems easier to use afterFind and beforeSave in the model.

Example:

    protected function afterFind ()

    {


		if($this->class_date <> '')

		{

			// mise en forme de class_date

    	    list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', $this->class_date);

        	$mk=mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);

        	$this->class_date = date ('d-m-Y', $mk);

		}

        

        return parent::afterFind ();

    }


    protected function beforeSave ()

    {

		if($this->class_date <> '')

		{

			// mise en forme de class_date

        	list($d, $m, $y) = explode('-', $this->class_date);

        	$mk=mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);

        	$this->class_date = date ('Y-m-d', $mk);

		}

		                

        return parent::beforeSave ();

    } 

before saving it change the format

like this

$model->admission_date=date(‘Y-m-d’,strtotime($model->admission_date));

Merci beaucoup Ragua,

J’ai modifié le code du modèle et j’ai inclus les deux fonctions que vous m’avez données: c’est GENIAL!! Ca marche! Magnifique!! Merci encore

Thanks Rajith R,

You are right! Before saving, the format needs to be changed. I have implemented it as Ragua suggested. It works! Superb. Thanks for your prompt help!
