Use the date_format function to format a date:
mysql> select now() now; +---------------------+ | now | +---------------------+ | 2011-03-08 18:45:22 | +---------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select date_format(now(), '%m/%d/%Y') today; +------------+ | today | +------------+ | 03/08/2011 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
