Hi,Can anyone help. I am trying to format how the date displays from a recordset.
I have the following code in my page from a recordset. <?php echo $row_News['date']; ?>
It displays the date in this format: 2008-06-11
I would like to have it appear like this. 11th June, 2008. Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
the date function will do whatever you want, try this . . .
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> echo date('d F, Y');</font id=code></pre id=code>
making sure you keep the spaces exactly where they are as they are part of the formatting string, full documentation is here . . .
