Hi,

You can use date() and functions like that.

Or do it the oldfashioned way: By hand with explode.
Here follows an example.
It can be written a lot shorter, but in this way you can see what happens.

$org = "2007-05-30 11:46:34";
$parts = explode(" ",$org);
// parts[0] now contains 2007-05-30
// parts[1] now contains 11:46:34

$dateparts = explode("-",parts[0]);
// dateparts[0] is now 2007
// dateparts[1] is now 05
// dateparts[2] is now 30

// assemble them, loosing the leading 0 with (int)
$result = (int)dateparts[0]."/".(int)datepart s[1]."/".(int)datepart s[2];

Not tested, but this approach works.

echo date("d/m/Y", strtotime("2007-05-30 11:46:34"));

prints out:

30/05/2007

And for dates up to the 13th of the month, is ambiguous
