This code :
<? $timestamp = "Fri Jan 28 19:53:09 2005";
$date = date("Y-m-d",strtotime($timestamp));echo $date;
?>
gave me this result
2005-01-28
Exactly as it should.

thanks I tried strtotime also but getting 1970-01-01 not 2005-01-28. my problem is that the date is given to me in string format i.e.Fri Jan 28 19:53:09 2005. Any other help will be appreciated.
with best wishes balwant
