I want to convert it into this format:

Answer 1

try this:

$old_date = '2011-09-20 13:00:00';
$old_date_timestamp = strtotime($old_date);
$new_date = date('F j Y g:i a', $old_date_timestamp);  

Answer 2

If that result comes from an object of type DateTime you can use the format function:

$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

and here all the formats you can have.. change it according to your needs.

Answer 3

You can get the UNIX-timestamp of a time string with strtotime() and you can get a differently designed time string with strftime()

Answer 4

For more information you can read the documentation here : http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

But also is simple. Lets see how

$d = "2011-09-20 13:00:00";
$d = strtotime($d);
$d = date("F m Y g:i a", $d);
echo $d;

Answer 5

Take a look at these PHP functions:

http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

and

http://nl.php.net/strtotime

To do something like this:

date('F d Y G:i',strtotime("2011-09-20 13:00:00")); // your required format

Answer 6

You can use this format

$date= date("F j Y g:i a");

if you have date in any variable then

$date= date("F j Y g:i a",strtotime($your_variable));

echo $date

Answer 7

echo date("F d Y g:i a",strtotime("2011-09-20 13:00:00 "));

Answer 8

echo date('F d Y g:i a', strtotime('2011-09-20 13:00:00'));

check the date format
