but Im looking for a small function that will return 3 varibales like this;
$month = Sep
$day = 17
$year = 2008

Any help appreciated

Ok I got what I need now, is there a better aproach to it?

<?PHP
function blogdate($date) {
	$month = date("M", strtotime($date));
	$day = date("j", strtotime($date));
	echo $month.'<BR><font size="+2">'.$day.'</font>';
}
?>
