[RESOLVED] Date

Hi all,
Being a novice I am really struggling with displaying a date PRE 1970 in php and mysql.
I have a date of birth field in my myqsl db and can echo it out without problem but because i need to echo it out in UK format (DD-MM-YYYY) I get 31 December 1969 on all dated previous to this date.
This is the code I use to 'switch' the date around

list($year, $month, $day)= explode("-", $date);
$show_date=date(" d F Y", mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year));

Any help greatefully received.

I think you're overcomplicating the whole thing with date() and mktime(). If you already have the $day $month and $year, then you can just put them into a string.

list($year, $month, $day)= explode("-", $date);
$show_date = "$day-$month-$year";
