Formatting dates

I'm having a problem formatting a date from mysql to display in a more 'English' format.

e.g. The value

echo mysql_result($result,$counter,"thedate")

gives 2001-10-15

If I try to format this as

date("dateformat",mysql_result($result,$counter,"thedate")

it gives me today's date instead of the one from the database

How can I format a date's appearance?

Thanks

Elizabeth
