sure, many ways, are you getting this timestamp from MySQL?
if so, you can do some funky stuff when SELECTing from the db.
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(yourdatecolumn,'%m-%d-%Y %h:%i %p')
you can add what ever format you like using %Y or %y etc
If you have done something like SELECT * FROM table and have a timestamp
you can do something like
$timestamp = '20030320085056';
echo date("l dS of F Y h:i a", $timestamp);
check out all the fun at
