RE: [PHP] newbyie - date conversion to human readable form

In PHP, you look at the date() function.

If retrieving this from a mysql database, mysql will do it for you:
SELECT DATE( mydate, "%W, %M %d, %Y") AS thedate FROM mytable;

I've dug around for a while but I can't find a direct answer on how to
convert a date in this format: "2002-03-25" to a human readable format
such as " March 25, 2002," or even better, "Monday, March 25, 2002."

Can anybody help me with this, or point me to some clear directions on
how to do this?

Thanks!

Straight from my code:

$value = date("m/d/Y", strtotime($value));


If you want it otherwise, modify the paramters in the 'date' command to your
liking.
