RE: [PHP] HELP! Date formatting

Ive gotto format a date such as 30/12/1956 to format 30-Dec-1956, I can not use mktime cause that only provides the timestamp from 1970. Is there any other method of getting this right. mktime() can be used for this. 0 is from 1970. Negative values are used for dates prior. Chris

$date = 30/12/1956; $month = Array(1='Jan', 2='Feb', 12-'Dec'); // The array of month... function date_format($date) { Global $month; $date = explode('/', $date); // And it became to you an array... return $date[0].'-'.$month[$date[1]].'-'.$date[2]; } //will return
