nevermind, figure it out, had to take the ' ' away from contract.length_start :)

I have a field in mysql as shown by describe contract;

| length_start | date | YES | | NULL | |

Which stores it in the mysql format of YYYY-MM-DD. However, I need the output of my select statement to show it in MM-DD-YYYY format. I can select it to see the date in the field:

select length_start from contract where user_id = 1;
+--------------+
| length_start |
+--------------+
| 2006-01-12   |
+--------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

so then I do my date_format() select statement, but it returns a NULL value. Why?

select date_format('contract.length_start', '%m-%d-%Y') as length_start from contract where user_id = 1;
+--------------+
| length_start |
+--------------+
| NULL         |
+--------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
