Actually, your use of substr is incorrect. The third parameter is how
many characters you want to go from your offset, not the ending
character. Also, your last variable shouldn't be year...it should be
day (or whatever you want to name it...anything but year or month :) ),
otherwise you will overwrite your previously set year with the day of
the month :)
Aside from that, you can use the date function once you fix your code a
bit:
$mynewdate = date("F d, Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year) ;
HTH!
