converting timestamps to US Date format

[Gary Mack]

Hi there,
 
I am having trouble converting a timestamp from mySQL to the US Format mm/dd/yyyy.  
Can someone please help.  I am also having trouble converting yyyy-mm-dd into a normal 
mm/dd/yyyy format as well.
 
I am using the following line of code:
 
date('m/d/Y', $row10['modified']);
 
$row10['modified'] is the timestamp from the mySQL database I want to convert from.  
Thanks in advance.
 
 
Gary
