Eddie,
This is a function that I wrote to handle this same situation:

# --- Function to format date output ---
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode("-", $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}


Call it like this:

echo makedate("m/d/Y", $myrow[departdate]); # returns 11/30/2002
echo makedate("F d, Y", $myrow[departdate]); # returns November 30, 2002


You can use any of the standard date formatting commands in the function call.

HTH!

Peter

I am pulling from a datetime field in mysql.  The actual data looks like
this: 2002-11-30 00:00:00  When I output the data to the page, I want it to
appear as 11/30/2002.  I want to use a php date format.  I do not want it
formatted as it comes out of the db. But date("m/d/y", $myrow[departdate])
returns 12/31/69.  How can I do this?

THanks,
Eddie
