database date to be retrieved from phpmyadmin.

hi... i need help in retrieving date from phpmyadmin -database. php getdate() gives system date. but i need to retreive database date and not systemdate. the sql queries like current_timestamp,local_timestamp etc. returns resourceid. but not a valid date.
plzz help...urgent😔 Posted in: #PHP

What i understood from your post is Say you have one field register_date and its attribute as current_Timestamp

Now it will store system date everyone a new records is entered inside the table

Now you want to retrieve the date from database through your php script

am i right?
