How to change Date format

Rails
1

Hi all,
I am using InstantRails with MySQL-Front. Date is stored in format
yyyy-mm-dd
in database. I want to retrieve and show date in dd-mm-yyyy in my
view.rhtml.
How can I change it to dd-mm-yyyy form.
Please help me out.

Thanks

there may be a method to do this job,
at least you can code a helper yourself, like
def my_date(date)
“#{date.day}-#{date.month}-#{date.year}”
end

strftime method

my_time.strftime(“%d-%m-%Y”)

If you just need to reformat the date object when you print it, look at
the strftime function in the API.
