You can either use date along with strtotime, or you can use the date_create_from_format method (date_create_from_format example):

echo DateTime::createFromFormat( "Y-n-j", $row['date'])
     ->format( 'l jS F Y' );

(an now strtotime)

echo date('l jS F Y',strtotime($row['date']));

Take a look at the date function, along with strtotime.
