How do I parse a date field from mysql? I was hoping this would work: $mydata->birthday = "2007-02-13"; This just stores a string to the variable $mydata->birthday - where did you define $mydata->birthday as a data object?

$mydata->birthday = date("2007-02-13");

#What month is it? echo date("F", $mydata->birthday); #What year is it? echo date("Y", $mydata->birthday); What am I missing? All I get is December 1969. Hmmm? I am looking at the manual: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html
