Converting date formats

[mybikeisace]

I have the following code which prints out the dates of the last 12 months.
However I want them formating in a different way (instead of 2003-03-29 I want 29-03)
Cant seem to figure it out with the date() function.

    $datestart=date ("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),  date("d"),  date("Y")-1));
      for ($i=0; $i<12; $i++){
        $nod = 0;
        $nom = 1;
        $noy = 0;


$datyy=substr($datestart,0,4);
$datmm=substr($datestart,5,2);
$datdd=substr($datestart,8,2);
$fda=$datdd + $nod;
$fmo=$datmm + $nom;
$fyr=$datyy + $noy;
$datestart=date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$fmo,$fda,$fyr));
echo "<a href='tips.php?month=$datestart'>$datestart</a> &nbsp";
}

change that second to last line
$datestart=date("Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,$fmo,$fda,$fyr));
to
$datestart=date("d-m", mktime(0,0,0,$fmo,$fda,$fyr));

Date formats are pretty easy. Take "Y-m-d" and make it "d-m". You can really make it look like anything, have a look:

Good Luck

I'd also suggest changing the first line from

$datestart=date ("Y-m-d",mktime (0,0,0,date("m"),  date("d"),  date("Y")-1)); 

to

$datestart=date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last year'));

In fact, you could rewrite the code to the point where date is only used once.

$datestart=strtotime('last year');
$nod = 0;
$nom = 1;
$noy = 0;

for ($i=0; $i<12; $i++){
	$datestart = strtotime("$nod days $nom months $noy years", $datestart);
	$display_date = date("Y-m-d", $datestart);
	echo "<a href='tips.php?month=$display_date'>$display_date</a> &nbsp";
}

And of course, that means there's only one date format string to adjust.
