handy if you have a timestamp like this:

2022-01-10 00:12:42

and want it to look a bit nicer. like this...

12:19 am, January 10, 2022

PHP

// makes a nice readable date from a mysql timestamp
	function make_nice_date($timestamp_string) {
		$nice_date = date("g:i a, F j, Y ", strtotime($timestamp_string));
		return($nice_date);
	}

// example with existing timestamp string
$timestamp_string = "2022-01-10 00:12:42";
$nice_date_out = make_nice_date($timestamp_string);
echo "<h3>make_nice_date example one</h3>";
echo $nice_date_out . "<br>";

// example with current timestamp string

I believe that in order to better your knowledge base, it takes a lot of failing in order to succeed. I don't consider anything a failure as long as you get back up and you learn from your own mistakes.

translate

The translate CSS property allows you to specify translation transforms individually and independently of the transform property. This maps better to typical user interface usage, and saves having to remember the exact order of transform functions to specify in the transform value.
