How could I manipulate it in php to say "Dec, 07, 2005"?
I can separate the string at the space, but don't know where to go from
there....thanks for any suggestions.
I think it easier to just get the date in unix timestamp format rather than
a string. Afterwards, you can use several PHP date functions to display it,
such as date() or strftime().
I suppose it comes from a MySQL query so try this:
SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date_field) FROM table

Here's a method I've used (found it using Google a year or so ago):
$a = '2005-12-07';
$y = $a[0].$a[1].$a[2].$a[3];
$m = $a[5].$a[6];
$d = $a[8].$a[9];
$unixtimestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y);
$display_date = date('F j, Y',$unixtimestamp)

Integrity is obvious.

$unixTimestamp = strtotime ("2005-12-07 10:10:00") ;
echo date("M, d, Y", $unixTimestamp);
echo date('M d, Y', strtotime('2005-12-07 10:10:00'));
