date formatting

[bamby]

I need to format a MySQL date field. For example, 2006-08-20 into August, 20th.

Code:

date("F, jS", $row['date'])

But this returns DECEMBER, 31ST.

What is the problem and please supply the answer -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

There are two reasons

1. $row['date'] is coming up empty, null, or 0 so it assumes Epoch
   
2. MySQL has built in date formatting features, use 'em!
