Display Dates in English o_O

I have a PHP driven site that as a time schedule. Since the site isn't exactly filled with very intellagent people who just LOVE to translate times and dates from a weird format (Such as the format used in MySQL), I'd like to take these from a MySQL table (the table's types are DATE and TIME) and translate the date to something like "Thrusday, January 16th, 2003" when the date strate from the table is "2003-01-16." Then with time, I'd like it to read something like "8:00 PM" when it reads straight from the table "20:00:00." Another feature I'd like to have it timezones but that's not the point of this message. If you don't mind, though, could you also tell me how to configure the times according the the timezone a user has chosen?
