I wrote this function for a french localisation project; should be easy to
translate. The whole librairy is copyrighted Marc Nadeau (me), 2005 and is
released unther the GNU Public Licence (GPL).

// $dateStandard means AAAA-MM-JJ format
function retournerDateTextuelle($dateStandard){

$annee = substr($dateStandard,0,4);
$mois = substr($dateStandard,5,2);
$jour = substr($dateStandard,8,2);

$moisNom['01'] = 'janvier';
$moisNom['02'] = 'f&eacute;vrier';
$moisNom['03'] = 'mars';
$moisNom['04'] = 'avril';
$moisNom['05'] = 'mai';
$moisNom['06'] = 'juin';
$moisNom['07'] = 'juillet';
$moisNom['08'] = 'ao&ucirc;t';
$moisNom['09'] = 'septembre';
$moisNom['10'] = 'octobre';
$moisNom['11'] = 'novembre';
$moisNom['12'] = 'd&eacute;cembre';

$moisTexte = $moisNom[$mois];

$dateFormatee = "$jour $moisTexte $annee";

// eliminate leading zeroes
if(substr($dateFormatee, 0, 1) == '0'){
$dateFormatee = substr($dateFormatee, 1);
}

return $dateFormatee;
}

Could be shortened or optimized but i like the clarity.


Hope that helps.
