note 17945 added to function.gmdate

i have, in my access database, a table in which i record dates (for instance:5/1998). When i decide to display it through PHP the information is in the following format: 1999-03-01 00:00:00. I just want the month (for instance Mar for march) and the full year (2002). Do you know how to do that ? thanks in advance -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmdate.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17945 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17945 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17945
