Use strttotime() function.

    How do I parse a date field from mysql?

    I was hoping this would work:

    $mydata->birthday = "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
