As an alternative, you can use a query such as this: $query = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y') as alias, ... and then print the value with $date = $row['alias']; echo $date; instead of using row["DATE_FORMAT(o.date, '%m/%d/%Y')"]; It makes things easier to read in your code, too... ---John W.
