I'm tearing my hair out here (what's left)... SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(yourdatecolumn,'%d, %m,%Y %h:%i %p') AS your_date FROM table just change the %m options to suit the format you wish. You will then have a field called your_date that you can access in your loop like while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['your_date']; } enjoy, kevin -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
