Hi I'm looking to format a date but all I find is this date() function and it appears to be for current date? My variable $dbrec["ListDate"] is printing: 4/30/2003 0:00:00 It needs to print 4/30/2003 Am I on the right track to try to do a (with right parameters) $formatted_date = date("M D Y",$dbrec["ListDate"]); or $formatted_date = date_format("M D Y",$dbrec["ListDate"]); Thanks Current code just chops it off: print "<td><font color='white'><b>".substr($dbrec["ListDate"],0,9)."</td>"; __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
