Rasmus is right, this is a database question... Anyway... Something like this should get you close... SELECT DATE_FORMAT(datum, '%e %b %y') AS my_formatted_date FROM news_items WHERE whatever = something_else The key here is DATE_FORMAT(column, 'format') AS whatever You'll need to insert your own column name and get the format stuff from the mysql manual (as previously noted, chapter 6.4.something will do that).
