Hey, I need help getting that ugly yyyy-mm-dd format to change to something prettier. I would prefer being able to output it in the form like January 01, 2007. Something easy to read for the average user. I can leave it stored in yyyy-mm-dd in my database, but in my output I'd like to reformat it.
Thanks, I have used that function before, but it seems that I can only format the current system time with that function. How can I take a previous date/time recorded in a database and use this fuction with it?
Ah, so I can pull the date from the database, and put it in a variable, say $mysqldate, and then use that to format it? That's even easier! Thanks!
Yes, exactly. Although there's no difference as far as the performance is concerned, personally I prefer to leave the data formatting to php rather than mysql, simply for the sake of responsibility separation.

That's awesome. So much easier than the way I was doing it. Thanks.
