How to format date in PHP from phpMyAdmin database - php

Question

I can't figure out how to format the timestamp on my database so I figured I should use my PHP code, but still cannot figure it out.
PHP CODE:
function filldiv() {
$loopResult .= '';
$events = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM a3825952_blog.Blog ORDER BY DATE DESC');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($events)) {
$loopResult .= '
<div class="blogbox show">
<div class="blogtitle">'.$row['TITLE'].'</div>
<div class="blogdate">'.$row['DATE'].'</div>
<div class="blogcontent">'.$row['CONTENT'].'</div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGE'].'"/></div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGEB'].'"/></div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGEC'].'"/></div>
<div class="showHide"></div>
</div>
';
}
echo $loopResult;

Thanks for every ones suggestions on reading the documentation. For some odd reason I just didn't think of it. I was able to figure it out and posted the solution below. Again, thanks!
First I had to set the rows date to a variable, then format the date in the loop.
function filldiv() {
$loopResult .= '';
$events = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM database.table ORDER BY DATE DESC');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($events)) {
$date = date_create($row['DATE']);
$loopResult .= '
<div class="blogbox show">
<div class="blogtitle">'.$row['TITLE'].'</div>
<div class="blogdate">'.date_format($date, 'l, F j, Y').'</div>
<div class="blogcontent">'.$row['CONTENT'].'</div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGE'].'"/></div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGEB'].'"/></div>
<div class="blogimage"> <img src="../'.$row['IMAGEC'].'"/></div>
<div class="showHide"></div>
</div>
';
}
echo $loopResult;
