Hi
As the Perl hackers say, "tmtowtdt" (there's more than one way to do this) -
you are free to do format your dates wherever you like. If you're that way
inclined you could even do the formatting on the client side in JavaScript ;-)
IIRC correctly PHP offers a lot of inbuilt date formatting wotsits.
In SQL (at least MySQL, database developers also believe tmtowtdt ;-) you can
use the DATE_FORMAT function, see:
