date notation error

[brain]

I have an date field in my database and letting that date show in a php document:

<?php echo $rsPartylist->Fields("datum")?>

Now I want the outcome not to be: 2001-10-09 but just 09-10. If i'm using the DW ultradev command on the recordset. It generates the following code:

<?php echo DoDateTime( $rsPartylist->Fields("datum"), 'jS F Y') ?>

but viewing this live -->

Warning: unexpected error in date() in d:\apache\htdocs\partylist_oll6jaaq6.php on line 60

Is there another (working) code I can use ?

dunno wtf all that code is, but since you said it "generated" the code, i can see why it's overly complicated.
to echo the date like you wnat do this:

<?php
$the_date = date("d-m");
echo $the_date;
?>

btw, the last part in your code ("jS F Y")
php would print something like this:
10th September 2001
what i posted will do the 09-10 like you want.

That's not what I meant. With that code today's date appears. What I need is the date generated from the database (via a recordset) has to transform from 2001-09-15 (as mySQL date insertion requires) to 15-09. I hope you understand what I mean.

here, just pull the date outta your database, and use this code to convert it:

<?

$string = "2001-09-07"; // date in database
$array = explode("-", $string);

echo $string; // this prints the date as in the db
print "<BR>";

$date = mktime(0,0,0,$array[1],$array[2],$array[0]); 

$new_date = date("m-d", $date);
echo $new_date;
 
?>

do you want it month-day or day-month?
well, if the above isn't right, just switch the d and m
