Note Submitter: nigelNOSPAM@webleicester.co.uk ---- [[Editors note: It's preferred to instead use MySQL's own date and time functions for this. See: * http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Date_and_time_functions.html ]] Can't believe someone hasn't posted this one! - A simple function for formatting a MySQL date straight from the database to a proper readable format. function formatdate($date) { list($yyyy, $mm, $dd) = explode('-',$date); $date = date('F j, Y', mktime(0,0,0,$mm,$dd,$yyyy)); return $date; } // echo $date; gives date in the format "October 11, 2003"
