Converting a date

[7724]

Hi Guys,

If I'm putting a date in my webpage in a $dateone variable, in the format of YYYY-MM-DD and I want to output it in the fomat:

Monday, 4th April, 2005

On my live site, I thought i'd use this code on my template page?

<?
date("l, jS F, Y", strtotime($row[dateone]))
?>

But it does not work? Any ideas?

Thanks

or try mktime

Best thing though iis to confvert thewdate outside so that yoou can echo it

$date = strtotime($row[dateone]);
echo "Date is now : $date";

I assume this is coming from the Database? If so why not use the Date/Time Functions
