Function

Can someone please help in writing a function to convert date from 20080301 to saturday, march 1, 2008?

<?php$raw_date = "20080301";$formated_date = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($raw_date));echo $formated_date;?>

for more info, check strtotime, strftime, date and mktime

I need a function so that I can reuse it again and again for the date field. can someone please help?

if you can't convert that piece of code to a function than i doubt you will be able to use that function :Sanyway, here it is:

<?phpfunction convert_date($raw_date){	return strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($raw_date));}?>
