Extract the Day / Month / Year from a Timestamp on MYSQL

Use date_parse($actualite['date']);, which will return an array containing the day, month, year and other items.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-parse.php

Example:

<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>

Output:

Array
(
    [year] => 2006
    [month] => 12
    [day] => 12
    [hour] => 10
    [minute] => 0
    [second] => 0
    [fraction] => 0.5
    [warning_count] => 0
    [warnings] => Array()
    [error_count] => 0
    [errors] => Array()
    [is_localtime] => 
)

You can extract the values directly within your MySQL query

SELECT DAY( <TIMESTAMP_FIELD> ) AS DAY, 
       MONTH( <TIMESTAMP_FIELD> ) AS MONTH, 
       YEAR( <TIMESTAMP_FIELD> ) AS YEAR
FROM <TABLE>
