[PHP-DB] simple date formatting?

2003-06-11 Thread Steve B. 
Hi I'm looking to format a date but all I find is this date() function and it appears 
to be for
current date?

My variable $dbrec[ListDate] is printing:
4/30/2003 0:00:00

It needs to print
4/30/2003

Am I on the right track to try to do a (with right parameters)

$formatted_date = date(M D Y,$dbrec[ListDate]);
or
$formatted_date = date_format(M D Y,$dbrec[ListDate]);

Thanks
Current code just chops it off:
print tdfont color='white'b.substr($dbrec[ListDate],0,9)./td;

Building off of one of John Holmes's posts from yesterday:

$f_date = date('n/d/Y',strtotime($yourDBdate));

should do the trick.

Hope this helps.
