Any easy way to go from MySQL Dates to PHP dates?

I was just wondering if there's any way to work with dates returned from a MySQL query in PHP. Right now I do all of different stuff in my MySQL query but it's really cumbersome, so I would like to be able to do it all with PHP. Is there any way to do that? Thanks, Dave Here's my MySQL query: $result = mysql_query("SELECT *, WEEKDAY(time0_name) AS day, DATE_FORMAT(time0_name,'%m/%d/%y') AS print_date, DATE_FORMAT(time0_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time0, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time0_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time0, DATE_FORMAT(time1_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time1, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time1_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time1, DATE_FORMAT(time2_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time2, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time2_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time2, DATE_FORMAT(time3_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time3, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time3_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time3, DATE_FORMAT(time4_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time4, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time4_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time4, DATE_FORMAT(time5_name, '%l:%i %p') AS begin_time5, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(time5_name, INTERVAL 2 HOUR), '%l:%i %p') AS end_time5 FROM pickup_times",$dbh); I could do it a lot easier if in PHP I think, so I was just wondering if anyone could point me to a thing that talked about converting MySQL DATETIME to PHP date stuff.
