[quote author="JHackamack" date="1263423314"]Right after your query runs have you echoed out:
$this->db->last_query();
are the results the same, or different for the second date format.
Also another thing to try that might be foiling it is aliasing your columsn
DATE_FORMAT(start_date, '%d %b, %Y') as start_date
I believe MySQL assigns a date_format to both columns, so one will overwrite the other.[/quote]
If you notice carefully the code sample that I gave you, you will find the difference is only a matter of a comma
DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b %Y')
and
DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b, %Y') --> this doesn't work
yes I echoed the query (the one without a comma) and tried it on phpmyadmin to see if it is correct
the query runs OK, I got what I wanted
and when I added a comma to the date format of the second date column it also runs OK
it gives me two column of date with '%d %b, %Y'
but when I give this format to active records it failed
It only accept one '%d %b, %Y' (with comma) and one '%d %b %Y' (without comma)
my summary is
active records only accepts
DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b %Y') and DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b, %Y') in one query
it cannot accepts
DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b, %Y') and DATE_FORMAT(end_date, '%d %b, %Y')
can someone try this ? I think this is very not right to have
