displaying date

hey

Im very new to php, and need some help. Im creating a script that will allow users to sign up for various training classes online. First users select which class they want. Depending on their selection, they recieve a list of available class dates in a drop down menu. The problem is that I have the dates stored in the database like: "022103 (mmddyy)". So when the script outputs the date, it shows up in a difficult to read format.

What Im looking for is a script that will change the "022103" into "February 21, 2003". Id like to keep the database date in the simple numbers format it is in, but diplay an easier to read for the users.

I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions concerning how I could accomplish this.

Thanks!

Here is the current code for the select_date.php:

[PHP]

$class_id = $_POST['class_id'];
session_register('class_id');
$_SESSION['class_id'] = $class_id;

@ $db = mysql_pconnect("host", "user1", "user1");

if (!$db)
{
echo "Could not connect to database.";
exit;
}

mysql_select_db("training_signup");
$query = "select * from ".$class_id."_dates";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
?>

Select Date:

for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>
">

[/PHP]

Thanks again

www.php.net/date <-- You can format the date how you want.
Or am I missing the point again?

Yup, that will do it

Thanks!
