PHP date conversion

Question

I have date in format 2011-01-28 06:34:33 i.e. date("Y-m-d H:i:s"). I want to convert it into 28th January 2011.

How can I change it?

Answer 1

Supply the date function with your format, which can be found here. Pass the timestamp of your original date as the second parameter to date. You can obtain the timestamp by using strtotime.

date("dS F Y", strtotime("2011-01-28 06:34:33"));
