Formatting birthdate question

Can someone please tell me how to make this:

Quote:

01-31-54

into this:

Quote:

January 31, 1954

with the following line?

PHP Code:


		
			
$birthdate=$bbuserinfo['birthday'];

I tried doing the vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'] string, but it gives me Dec, 31st, 1969 for anything before 1970. I know this is fixed in vB3, but for some reason it isn't working for that line. I am using this in a file for realchat to pass paranmeters to the chat program. This is the only thing I have that is not working the way I want it to.

Thank you in advance. ;)

Try this Boofo... :)

PHP Code:


		
			
$birthdate_parts = explode("-", $bbuserinfo['birthday']);

$birthday = date("F j, Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $birthdate_parts[0], $birthdate_parts[1], $birthdate_parts[3]));

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$bday = explode('-', $bbuserinfo['birthday']);

    if (date('Y') > $bday[2] AND $bday[2] > 1901 AND $bday[2] != '0000')

    {

        require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');

        $vboptions['calformat1'] = mktimefix($vboptions['calformat1'], $bday[2]);

        $bbuserinfo['birthday'] = vbdate($vboptions['calformat1'], mktime(0, 0, 0, $bday[0], $bday[1], 1992), false, true, false);

    }

    else

    {

        $bbuserinfo['birthday'] = vbdate($vboptions['calformat2'], mktime(0, 0, 0, $bday[0], $bday[1], 1992), false, true, false);

    }

$birthdate = $bbuserinfo['birthday'];

    }
$birthdate = $bbuserinfo['birthday'];

That worked like a charm, thank you, sir. ;)

One last thing, if I want to strip the DAY out of that string, how could I do that? I use

l, FjS, Y

for the birthdays on my board, but in this program I only want

F j, Y

Can this be done?

Thank you, sir. Your code worked great for the day but it showed 2000 for my birth year, which is just a little off. But you were a heck of a lot closer than I have been able to get. ;)
