Re: Best way to convert PG's TIMESTAMPTZ to PHP DATE?

Not sure why this results in nothing:

$query2 = "SELECT to_char(posted, 'Day, DD HH12:MI:SS') FROM
healthnotes";

Also, there are multiple postings per day, how do I SELECT only one?
DISTINCT? Not sure how to do this..

Finally, if I ever get the output, would nested for-loops properly
output the information such that for each date printed, it will print
the multiple items on that day?
