My coding is not very concise and I would appreciate suggestions on how to clean this up even though it works: /* MySQL to date */ function mysql_to_date($mysql) { $retval = ""; if ($mysql) {

     $parts = explode("-", $mysql);
     $mo = $parts[1];
     $dy = $parts[2];
     $yr = $parts[0];
     $parts = explode(" ", $dy);
     $dy = $parts[0];
     $retval = $mo . "/" . $dy . "/" .  $yr;

} else {

     $retval = "";

} return $retval; }
