    Default PHP date format

    Accoding to the manual, if I want to display the a date in the format "May
    31st, 2005 I should use the following code:
    <p> The event will held on <?php date(' F jS Y', eventdate)?></p>

    But no matter how I type in the event date, "05/31/2005" what displays is
    "December 31st, 1969" I've tried "2005-05-31," "2005-05-31 00-00-00" and
    about 20 other combinations. Can anyone tell me the correct format?

    Found the answer. strtotime($eventdate) does the trick.

    >Found the answer. strtotime($eventdate) does the trick.
    JFTR: The reason is that the date() function expects the date in Unix
    timestamp format. strtotime() helps: it accepts many different date
    formats and converts them to timestamps.

    Be aware that Unix timestamps are restricted in range, usually something
    between 1970-2038. Dependent on the dates you want to store this could
    become a problem.
