I need to format a date

[Anon]

I need to format a unix date format '2002-02-02' to February 2, 2002.

I know how to format the date when running a query but in this case I have collected the date in unix format and passed it to a second page for the user's confirmation and I would like it to display the date in the following format: Month Day, Year(ex. March 2, 2002)

Thanks in advance,
Josu

Here is a bit of code I use a lot

$date = "2002-02-02";

if(preg_match("~([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})~",$date,$parts))
$date = date("F d, Y",mktime(0,0,1,$parts[2],$parts[3],$parts[1]));

Basically I split the date up into its pieces (month, day, and year) using the regular expression, then create a unix timestamp with it, then pass it to the date function 🙂

Hope this helps,
