I'm using the type date with the function now, so it shows the current date when I post an event. Here is what I would like: Conference in New York Wednesday, March 5th, 2002 There is going to be a conference in New York next week. If you are using the mktime() to make a UNIX timestamp you could do something like this: ? $conftime = mktime($hour, $minute, $seconds, $month, $day, $year); echo date(l, F jS, Y, $conftime); ? -- Joshua E Minnie CIO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't work for recognition, but always do work worthy of recognition. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The posted date variable is stored as the date type in the MySQL database so it comes out like this 2002-03-06. Should I convert the date into a time stamp or how should I do this.

Re: [PHP] Re: help with date formatting
I always use the mySQL DATE_FORMAT function in my queries themselves... SELECT DATE_FORMAT( someDatField, %m/%d/%Y ) as thedate FROM someTable At 12:23 PM 3/18/2002 -0600, Ryan wrote: On Mon, 18 Mar 2002 11:51:07 -0600 Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By, the way I'm getting the date from a MySQL database.
