How about this; $date_formatted=date("jS M Y",mktime(0,0,0,substr($date,4,2),substr ($date,6,2),substr($date,0,4))); However I guess this is proper 4 U; $date_formatted=date("jS F Y",mktime(0,0,0,substr($date,4,2),substr ($date,6,2),substr($date,0,4))); Hiroshi Ayukawa http://hoover.ktplan.ne.jp/kaihatsu/php_en/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
