MySQL date (Y-m-d) to something like 2006-June-23... it's possible?

Hi people, I have dates stored in MySQL in Y-m-d format and I want to output them in a common text format. Is that possible?

Here's the 'date' I'm telling you about, I got it from an array that I got from a MySQL query..

$date = $row["fecha"];

I'd be very very grateful if someone can help me.
Thanks any way!

Can you please explain what you mean by common text format?

Yeah sir, something like: Monday, 1st of October, 2006.

And if I wouldn't be asking too much, I need that on spanish.

First you need to convert the date to timestamp with strtotime() and then you need strftime() to display the date in your language.

Wow man, you're fast.
It would have taken like days to me to know that.
I won't try that for now because it's 6.46am and I havent got any sleep.
Want to see my project, Nikolas? I'm proud of it

Yeah right I don't understand nothing, except that it is something about medical..... (this badge with the snakes is from the Ancient Greece, so I can know that....)

Haha, well.. it has a lot of functions I just learned when developing it. It has a event scheduler and everything. 
Well, I'll get some sleep now man. Take care and have a great day!
