@NogDogMar 17.2008 — #Can you show us what you have tried? I can see no reason why the MySQL DATE_FORMAT() function could not do it, assuming the date/time is stored in an appropriate column type.
If you really, really feel you must do the conversion on the PHP side, look at the [url=http://www.php.net/strtotime]strtotime[/url]() function to convert the string to a PHP UNIX time integer, then use that value with [url=http://www.php.net/date]date[/url]() to get the desired format.
@HuevoosMar 17.2008 — #As NogDog said it's better to retrieve it with the mysql date_format, but if you really want to do it in php you should use the UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date) function in mysql
