I am wondering if there is an easier way to format dates that come out of a database. My database stores my date in the format- "YYYY-MM-DD". I know that I can take this and rearrange it with some string manipulation but is there any other easier way to do that say like making it say Sep. 09, 2001 instead of 2001-09-09 without using ereg()? Thanks for your help
