将MySQL日期转换为Java日期

Question

Say it I get a date from MySQL table like 2012-03-31.
I pass this date to a Java application. So Java needs that date as 2012, 02, 31.

Firstly I explode date, get second element, subtract one from the month value. Then I implode three elements and create new date string.

public function convertToJavaDate($mysqlDate) {
    $pieces = explode("-",$mysqlDate);
    return $pieces[0].", ".($pieces[1]-1).", ".$pieces[2];
}

Is there a quicker or smarter way to do this ?

Answer 1

$date = strtotime('2012-03-31');
$javadata = date('Y, m, d', strtotime('-30 days', $date));
