How to format a date in php

Recommended Posts

Hello. I have a DATE field in MySQL.

 

So I have a date formated like: 2008/01/22

 

I have this line @ the beginning of my script:

$day2 = date("Y/m/d", time()-(86400 * 2));

 

Which of course gets the date from 2 days ago.

 

Now I am trying to create another variable w/ it formated like: 01/22/2008.

 

So ...

I want to take ...

$day2 = "2008/01/19"

and make

$formated-day2="01/19/2008"

 

How can I do this? I need $day2 to maintain that format for the DB query I am doing elsewhere in the script. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
