Getting Month and Year from date

Question

I have a problem getting the year and month from the date given. I have this date 201911.. when i use

date('F Y',strtotime(201911))..

it shows Oct-19. It should be Nov-19

strtotime doesn't know if the 11 is the day or month, just add 01 to the end of it. `date('F Y', strtotime('20191101'))` — Alex Barker, Oct 28 '19 at 23:38

You would do better to use date_create_from_format:

$date = date_create_from_format('Ym', 201911);
echo $date->format('F Y');

Output:

November 2019

You are almost there. Just put ' around your String

echo date('F Y',strtotime('2019-11'));

Echo: November 2019

Also requires the dash, not just `(string)201911` – Alex Barker Oct 28 '19 at 23:42

All of another responses are ok!. the problem is that you dont tell to php what is the format of the date that you need trasform.

DateTime::createFromFormat('Ym', 201911)->format('F Y');
