Sorry I am a bit of a newbie with php and hope this has not been aswered a

I have a date base with a couple of date fields when I pull up and display
the fields it show 2007-05-21. the question I have is how to convert the
field to 05-21-2007?

Currently the command I have is

print $row['open'];

Well the easiest thing is to let MySQL do the work

use following SELECT

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(your_date_field,'%m-%d-%Y') as date_field FROM yourtable

That should do the work...
