HELP! - Dynamically filling PHP Tabe with FORMATTED Date & Time

    Here is the code that I am using:
    -------------------------


    //Connect to database

    mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());



    $tr_num = $_REQUEST['tr_num'];


    $result = mysql_query("select * from pack_stat WHERE tr_num=$tr_num order by updated");


    echo "
    <html>
    <body>
    <center>
    <table BORDER='1' CELLSPACING='1' CELLPADDING='0' WIDTH='585' bordercolordark='#333333' bordercolorlight='#666666'>
    <thead>
    <td WIDTH='70'>Tracking#</td>
    <td WIDTH='50'>User</td>
    <td WIDTH='170'>Status</td>
    <td WIDTH='95'>Date</td>
    <td WIDTH='50'>Time</td>
    <td WIDTH='150'>Last Updated</td>
    </thead>
    ";


    while($r=mysql_fetch_array($result)){


    $tr_num=$r["tr_num"];
    $user=$r["user"];
    $status=$r["status"];
    $date=$r["date"];
    $time=$r["time"];
    $updated=$r["updated"];


    echo "
    <tr>
    ".$tr_num=$r["tr_num"]."</td>
    <td>".$user=$r["user"]."</td>
    <td>".$tstatus=$r["status"]."</td>

    <td>".date("m/d/Y",$date=$r["date"])."</td>
    <td>".date("H:i",$time=$r["time"])."</td>

    <td>".$updated=$r["updated"]."</td>
    </tr>
    ";

    }


    ?>

    -------------------------

    Now every time the page loads ALL dates are 12/31/1969, and the time is always 16:00.

    The data exists in the tabe as follows:

    Date: "2005-08-06"
    Time: "17:04:00"

    I want it to look like
    08/06/2005

    17:04

    I have been able to format the data but it won't dynamically fill the table.

    Please HELP!

    It's because the date function takes a timestamp, and mysql returns it as a string. You could use the strtotime and the date functions to format them, or you could format the date and time in the mysql query.

    In php it would be something like this...

    I haven't tested that, so I'm not positive it will work, but try it out.
