<snip> You might already be fed up with my posts but I'm a complete PHP newbie and find these groups are the best way to learn! Anyway I have the database date in the format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss e.g. 2004-02-24 07:57:59 but when in some situations I only want to show the user the date in the format dd-mm-yyyy what is the correct / best php function to use for this purpose ? </snip>
