[How to get a date from a blog post to read Full month, Date, and Year?]

thorpe that is my code I don't have a problem with the code. I just don't know how to get the date to display the way I'd like it. Everything works fine and displays properly but I have no clue how to change the time to what I want. Do you know how I could get it to display that way?

[How to get a date from a blog post to read Full month, Date, and Year?]

Hello. I'm new to pHp and I would like to know how to get my $date_posted to read as March 12, 2012, instead of 2012-12-03.

Here is the code:

<?php

$sql = " SELECT id, title, date_posted, summary FROM blog_posts ORDER BY date_posted ASC LIMIT 10 ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$date_posted = $row['date_posted'];
$summary = $row['summary'];

echo "<h3>$title</h3>\n";
echo "<p>$date_posted</p>\n";
echo "<p>$summary</p>\n";
echo "<p><a href=\"post.php?id=$id\" title=\"Read More\">Read More...</a></p>\n";
}

?>

 

I have tried the date() function but it always updates with the current time & date so I'm a little confused on how I get this to work.

[textarea will not show [object HTMLTextAreaElement]?]

Nope I don't know why it is saying undefined lol. I bet its something really small but I don't know what it could be. I have been trying to get this for like hours and I'm getting frustrated. Gotta love code.

[Undefined [object HTMLTextAreaElement]]

I have a php page and I'm using jQuery and some AJAX to validate my contact form (phpmailer & process.php). However, the message is never displayed in my email. The name, email, and subject get passed but the message always comes back as Message: [object HTMLTextAreaElement]. Now it comes back as undefined. I don't know whats wrong.

 

Thanks for all who help - MIKE

[textarea will not show [object HTMLTextAreaElement]?]

@thorpe - alright I wasn't aware you had an ajax board just thought it was php. I didn't really have a chance to browse the site yet but thanks.

 

@AlexWD - I changed it to message and that's what I got was an undefined message.

[textarea will not show [object HTMLTextAreaElement]?]

Yes I'm aware an I'm asking a question about php with some AJAX thats all. I've been trying to figure this out all day and nothing so I need some help. Is there a problem with what I'm asking?

[textarea will not show [object HTMLTextAreaElement]?]

Ok I did what you said and now I'm getting a an undefined. I have no idea what that means. Why am I getting this error?
