convert date format.

[seahorse123]

I want to convert the string($date) from "Apr 5 2003 12:00AM" to "04/05/03", what function I should use, I tried:

date('m/d/Y',$date);

$date="Apr 5 2003 12:00AM"
but it returns: 12/31/1969

anyone can help? thanks.

The date() function takes an integer for an argument. You have to convert the string to an integer by using strtotime(). See

http://www.php.net/strtotime

$date='Apr 5 2003 12:00AM';
echo date('m/d/Y',[b][red]strtotime([/red][/b]$date[b][red])[/red][/b]);
