I use this function:
function xlate_datetime($in_field, $in_format)
{
// 2005-10-02 18:05:52
// 0123456789012345678
$year = substr( $in_field, 0, 4 );
$month = substr( $in_field, 5, 2 );
$day = substr( $in_field, 8, 2 );
$hour = substr( $in_field, 11, 2 );
$min = substr( $in_field, 14, 2 );
$sec = substr( $in_field, 17, 2 );
$t = mktime( $hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year );
if ( $in_field == "0000-00-00 00:00:00" )
return "";
else
return (date($in_format, $t));
}
