strftime("format", strtotime($database_time_string));
"format" is defined in the page for strftime(). strtotime() converts
the MySQL date into a UNIX timestamp.

Subject: [PHP-DB] format dates from a database
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
