[FX.php List] Date Format

[DC]

oops, sorry, rereading that made me realize that wasn't too clear....

the only problem in this code is that you need to switch the $m and  
$d variables in the *first* line because otherwise the list explode  
construction will assign the day to $m and the month to $d.
