[SOLVED] Convert format: 03/05/2009 to Mar 5th, 2009

Without writing a full blown explode() script, does anyone have any ideas as how to:

 

Convert format: 03/05/2009 to Mar 5th, 2009

 

I tried several variations of date(), but think it's not a proper function for this conversion.

 

Any ideas?

[Maq]

$your_date = "03/05/2009";
$con = date("M jS, Y", strtotime($your_date));
echo $con;
?>

<?php
$your_date = "03/05/2009";
$con = date("M jS, Y", strtotime($your_date));
echo $con;
?>

 

Vedy nice. I did not know that function strtotime() existed!! Thanks for the tip.
