I have a date field in my mysql db, when I output the data to the screen, I don't want to see the minutes, just the mmddyy. I can format a date but can't seem to get it to work passing in the value from $myrow["datefield"]....any ideas? I don't want to have to worry about just pulling what I want in the select clause, I just want to format it when I diplay it.
