Ok.. I guess it depends on how your date is stored. I always use unix_timestamps. If you are too.. then the format I supplied should work as indicated.

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.
