Rails - Aug 2005 - OT: Date Formatting

Sorry to bother with such a basic question, but I''m stuck. How would I
format a date field coming from MySql to display as ''January
2005''?
Would I use strftime? or to_formatted_s? Thanks for any help.

Ryan,

Use strftime. 

ie:

date.strftime("%m/%d/%y %I:%M %p") - of course substituting in the
long month name as well.
