Formatting how a time and date display from a variable

My Variables are in my sql table stored as a date and time respectively.

for the date, when i display the variable it displays as 2014-06-09

<?php
echo $info['seasonbegin'];
?>

when i try and format it, no matter which variable i declare (beginning or end) it displays as Wednesday December 31st

<?php
echo date("l F jS", $info['seasonbegin']);
?>

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. For a time I am trying to do with similar code, it does the same thing, no matter the value of the variable it displays 6pm...

Thanks for any help

The second argument for date() is a timestamp, so you need to convert your original date to a timestamp. You can do this with strtotime():

echo date("l F jS", strtotime($info['seasonbegin']));
