One way would be for MySQL to convert it for you, using the date_format() builtin function:
Assuming column b contains 20020620233544 in a timestamp field, then:
select date_format(b, '%W, %M %D, %Y, %l:%i%p') as date from foo;
will return:
"Thursday, June 20th, 2002, 11:35PM" in a recordset column named "date" ______________________________________________________________________
Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add.
Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.
