php date stripping, covert one format to another

Question

Evening all I always struggle with moving dates between one format and another. This is probably really simple but I am struggling to find the answer on the forums.

I have this date

$date = "2013-08-12 00:00";

And I want to echo it out like this

12th Aug 2013

Can someone help please

`echo date('jS M Y', strtotime($date));` – scrowler Jun 25 '14 at 23:12 — scrowler, Jun 25 '14 at 23:12

Use date and strtotime:

$date = "2013-08-12 00:00";
$newDate = date('jS M Y', strtotime($date));
