Topic: Proper Date Format for Post

Some people complained about the page pagination plugin that does not work. In general, these plugins are works by sorting the blog posts by published date, it must be known that this field will become very sensitive and should be written in the correct format:

// YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
Example: 2014-02-30 24:10:04

I would recommend this format because this date format is easy to read, and also can be converted easily into another format by using PHP strtotime

$test = '2014-02-30 24:10:04';
echo date('Y/m/d', strtotime($test)); // => 2014/02/30
XSS Testing <script>alert('HIYAA!!!');</script>

I don’t know where to post topic about suggestions so I just use the question space.

Yes, because this time pattern is very readable but structured and has been used as the standard date format for the database (at least in another CMS that I use, and in Monstra off course).

You answered your own question:

<?php echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime($page['date'])); ?>
