You have to convert the mysql date into a unix timestamp in order for it to
be used with date. You can do it in your query by selecting
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(your_column) and using what you have above, or you can try
the following with the query you already have.

date('m/d/Y',strtotime($myrow['departdate'])
