A luddite method and no doubt a geek will post a much better way of
doing it :-)


Strip out everything except 2005-12-07

<?php

$junk="2005-12-07";

$temp1=substr($junk,0,4);
$temp2=substr($junk,5,2);
$temp3=substr($junk,8,2);

$change=str_replace("01","Jan",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("02","Feb",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("03","Mar",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("04","Apr",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("05","May",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("06","Jun",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("07","Jul",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("08","Aug",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("09","Sep",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("10","Oct",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("11","Nov",$temp2);
$change=str_replace("12","Dec",$temp2);

$join="$change" . ", " . "$temp3" . ", " . "$temp1";

print $join;

?>
