date blues

[Dave#]

I have a script that pulls the latest eventd from my VB, the problem is that the date gets pulled in American rather than European format:

PHP Code:

<?php

include('../global.php');

$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT event, eventdate, eventid, subject
                           FROM calendar_events
                           WHERE public = 1 AND eventdate >= NOW()
                           ORDER BY eventdate LIMIT 8");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) {
  echo "<ul>";
  while ($event = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) {
    echo "<li><font size=\"1\">".$event['eventdate']." <a
href='calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&eventid=".$event['eventid']."'>".$event['subject']."</a> <br>
        ";
  }
} else {
  echo "No Events";
}
echo "</ul>";
?>

anyone help me get the date in European Format?
