[RESOLVED] Date Formatting

[focus310]

Hello:

I have a database table with a field called date. The date appears in the table as 2007-05-02.

I want to format the date so it looks like 05/02/2007.

The syntax that I have displays the date as: December 31, 1969.

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance.

Here's my code:

$today_date = date("F j, Y", $date);

[NogDog]

$today_date = date("m/d/Y", strtotime($date));

[dougal85]

date("m/d/Y", strtotime($date));

i suggest you use the native date/time funstions of your RDBMS. if you are using mySQL read this.
