php - convert 2012-06-25 19:00:00 to another format

Question

via xml, I am getting variables that give time in this format: 2012-06-25 19:00:00

I'd like it to be converted in this format: June 25 - 7:00PM

I have looked at mktime and strtotime, but im not sure how to handle a format that comes as a date AND time.

Look at [`date()`](http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) or [DateTime](http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.datetime.php) — John Conde, Jun 13 '12 at 20:13

As you said, you can use strtotime:

echo date('F-m - h:iA', strtotime($old_format));

I think he wants `echo date('F-m - h:iA', strtotime($old_format));` – raym0nd Jun 13 '12 at 20:16

@raym0nd Yep, you're right, thanks. Overlooked that. – alexn Jun 13 '12 at 20:17
thats it. Infact, I also want g instead of h. Thanks! – user1449369 Jun 13 '12 at 20:19

<?php

$input = "2012-06-25 19:00:00";

$dateTimeObject = new DateTime($input);
echo "First way: " . $dateTimeObject->format("F d - g:iA") . "<br>\n";

$date = date("F d - g:iA", strtotime($input));
echo "Second way: " . $date;
