    <p>I have a query like this</p> <pre><code>select fname,joined_date from employees where id=1 </code></pre> <p>currently the date format I'm using to display this returned employee details is Y-m-d. But now I need to convert the default mysql format Y-m-d to d/m/Y(in all date information display fields).</p> <p>For me it's <strong>very very difficult</strong> to go through all the files to do the date format conversion. </p> <p>So I thought of doing some thing like this in my database class.I have a function like this in my database class</p> <pre><code>function fetch($res){ $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res); foreach($row as $key=&gt;$value){ if(preg_match('/^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$/',$value)) $row[$key] = date('d/m/Y',strtotime($value)); } return $row; }//end function </code></pre> <p>and i'm using this function like this</p> <pre><code>$row = $db-&gt;fetch($res); </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>while($row = $db-&gt;fetch($res)){...} </code></pre> <p>I'm getting the expected output,but with an error message</p> <blockquote> <p>invalid argument for foreach</p> </blockquote> <p>it looks like the fetch function code executed (total_num_rows + 1) times</p> <p>If I use for loop instead of foreach, getting undefined offset error</p> <p>currently I'm using some thing like this to escape</p> <pre><code>if(is_array($row)){...} </code></pre> <p>when i look for the type $res, it showed resource(1st iteration),resource(2nd)</p> <p>for $row array</p> <p>array(1st iteration),boolean(2nd)</p> <p>Can anybody tell me why it's happening? Or is there a better way to do this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
