To just get a date you can cast it  cast user registration as date    and to get a specific format use date format  date format registration    Y- m- d     SQLFiddle demo

FROM UNIXTIME unix timestamp   format   is all you need  FROM UNIXTIME user registration    Y- m- d   AS  date formatted    FROM UNIXTIME gets a number value and transforms it to a DATE object  or if given a format string  it returns it as a string   The older solution was to get the initial date object and format it with a second function DATE FORMAT    but this is no longer necessary

you can try this The date is of timestamp type which has the following format     YYYY-MM-DD HH MM SS    or    2008-10-05 21 34 02      res   mysql query  quot SELECT date FROM times  quot    while    row   mysql fetch array  res         echo  row  date      quot   quot      The PHP strtotime function parses the MySQL timestamp into a Unix timestamp which can be utilized for further parsing or formatting in the PHP date function  Here are some other sample date output formats that may be of practical use  echo date  quot F j  Y g i a quot   strtotime  row  quot date quot                          October 5  2008 9 34 pm echo date  quot m d y quot   strtotime  row  quot date quot                                 10 05 08 echo date  quot j  n  Y quot   strtotime  row  quot date quot                               5  10  2008 echo date  quot Ymd quot   strtotime  row  quot date quot                                   20081005 echo date   i t  i s  t h e jS  d a y    strtotime  row  quot date quot           It is the 5th day  echo date  quot D M j G i s T Y quot   strtotime  row  quot date quot                       Sun Oct 5 21 34 02 PST 2008

If you are getting the query in your output you need to show us the code that actually echos the result  Can you post the code that calls requeteSQL   For example  if you have used single quotes in php  it will print the variable name  not the value  echo  foo is  foo      foo is  foo   This sounds exactly like your problem and I am positive this is the cause   Also  try removing the   symbol to see if that helps by giving you more infromation   so that    SQL result    mysql query  SQL requete      run the query   becomes      SQL result   mysql query  SQL requete      run the query   This will stop any error suppression if the query is throwing an error

You should convert timestamp to date   select FROM UNIXTIME user registration    Y- m- d  H  i  s   AS  date formatted    FROM UNIXTIME

If the registration field is indeed of type TIMESTAMP you should be able to just do    sql    SELECT user email              info name              DATE user registration               info news       FROM user              info       WHERE user id   info id      and the registration should be showing as yyyy-mm-dd
