Make timestamp more readable

Hello guys , this post for the newbie .Ofter we need to store the current time using mysql NOW() , but when later we want to print that we get 2009-02-05 19:02:49 .

But using a single line we can make that like 05 Feb, 2009 .

<?
	echo date("d M, Y",strtotime($date)); 
        // Here $date is the timestamp value from the database .
?>
	

Handy code hun ?
