mySQL stores DATETIME variables in a YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. when I use a query to get this information in PHP, how do I reformat it? How can I change 2008-06-08 16:30:00 into Sunday, June 6th 4:30 p.m. I'm assuming there is a built-in function for stuff like this.
You should store your dates as a timestamp. You can then easily get the date in any format you require. If it's too late for that you can use mktime. What I would do is explode your current date a couple of times and use the pieces as arguments for mktime. Hope that helps.
From a development standpoint, I see web 2.0 as the "social web". Think sites like Facebook/Myspace (Social Networking) Digg(Social Bookmarking) , and Twitter(micro-blogging) for sites that are very 2.0 From a design standpoint, it usually means cool colors (blue and green) rounded corners, gradients, and very minimalist looks. again, Digg and Twitter are really good examples of this kind of design.
