{
$stamp = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $mysqltime);
$year = substr($stamp, 0, 4);
$month = substr($stamp, 4, 2);
$day = substr($stamp, 6, 2);
$hour = substr($stamp, 8, 2);
$min = substr($stamp, 10, 2);
$sec = substr($stamp, 12, 2);
$unix = mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);
//echo "Unix timestamp: $unix<BR>\n";
return $unix;
}

You could add a $dateformat input variable, and execute Date()
inside that function using it ... but I'll leave that one up to
you. This will change it into a unix timestamp acceptable to
the date() function.

It sounds like you might be coming at this one from an odd approach...
for one, include()'ing a file doesn't execute it externally, and it's
probably the best way to do what I think you're trying to do, since you
can then change the one include()'d file in order to change all your
page layouts...
