Hello All,
 I have a date value that I pull from a .csv file.
 After reading the file and storing the values in an array the value of
 the date could
 be found in $array[1], for example.
 =============================================================
 while (($data = fgetcsv($handle,5000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
 $mydate = $data[3]; // here is the array value that holds the date
 }
 =============================================================
 The date will be in either m/d/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy format.
 Here is the problem.  I need to display this date on the page
 in "long" format - i.e. January 5, 2005 instead of 1/5/2005 or
 01/05/2005.
 
 I have tried to use the date() function, however I can only get the
 formatting to work
 with the current date and not with an 'existing' date.
 
 date("d.m.Y", $mydate); // this does not work, I get a date from
 1969...
 
 Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
 
 JC
