MySQL Timestamp into PHP Format

[cancer10]

I have a timestamp column in a mysql table.

Using PHP, how do I convert the timestamp format which is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" into a format like "March 16 2008, 08:41 am" ?


Please help

try something like this:

$showdate = date('M d Y, H:i a', strtotime($row['orderdate']));

change orderdate to the fieldname in your table, and just the echo $showdate..
