help with date formatting

Hi, I'm trying to create an events page, where it shows the posted events. I enter data using phpmyadmin. Currently, the ouput is like this: -------------------------------------------------------- Conference in New York 2002-03-06 There is going to be a conference in New York next week. -------------------------------------------------------- I'm having trouble with the formatting of the date. I'm using the type date with the function now, so it shows the current date when I post an event. Here is what I would like: -------------------------------------------------------- Conference in New York Wednesday, March 5th, 2002 There is going to be a conference in New York next week. -------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for any help. -- Ryan Spangler 428 N Harmony Ln, Apt. 3 Whitewater, WI 53190 (262) 473-8392 SpanglerRP22@uww.edu
