Stephen,
If this date format is coming from a MySQL database (frequently the case),
you might want to look at the date formatting functions of MySQL.
http://www.mysql.com/doc/D/a/Date_and_time_functions.html.
ex. select DATE_FORMAT('1997-10-04 22:23:00', '%W %M %Y');
One drawback is that this is not standard SQL, so it's not too portable, if
you are concerned with that.

<<1.
$date = "20010101";
How could I output 01 01 2001 (or make it 3 variables, like day, month,
year)?>>
$year = substr($date,0,4);
$month = substr($date,4,2);
$day = substr($date,6,2);
...Assuming that the date is stored in yyyymmdd format.
