Databases :: MySql :: DATE_FORMAT problems

Hi,

I am curious as to whats happening with this code. Every time I run it no results are returned. Any format problems anyone can see?

$date = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(move_in, '%m %d %y') FROM ilive.pri_listings WHERE listing_id = ".$listing_id;
$date2 = mysql_query($date);
$date3 = mysql_fetch_array($date2);

echo "<font face = 'arial' size = '2' color = '#0000FF'><b>Available (mm/dd/yy):</b></font><font face = 'arial' size = '2'>&nbsp;&nbsp;".$date3['move_in']."</font>";

Is there any obvious errors anyone can see?

Thanks

Never Mind,

Figured it out,

echo $date3[0];

Worked

Whoever responds the quickest can have these points :)

yes, the story is that your column is not named 'move_in' but 'DATE_FORMAT(move_in, '%m %d %y') ' - always try first in the mySql console to see this kind of stupid mistake.

You should take the habit of naminf your computed cilumns, like in here :
$date = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(move_in, '%m %d %y') AS a FROM ilive.pri_listings WHERE listing_id = ".$listing_id;

echo "<font [...] ".$date3['a']."</font>";

Excellent tip, I wasn't aware of the AS notation
