change date format

Hey how can I change the coding in this basic calendar script to have the date in a appear as “09-07-2007” rather than “1189148400” (I don’t really know what format this) you can see the calendar in action [URL=”http://ccgulfbreeze.com/calendar.php”]here[/URL]. And also here is the php coding for the calendar…

[code=php]<?php

// user input and break them
// down for usage in our script

$month_start = mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year);

// Get friendly month name

// the month starts on.
