How to convert date from one to another format in php?

Question

I have date like "2014-05-14 19:15:00" but I want to convert it in "7:15 PM 14th May 2014".

Here is my code:

$start = $post['begin'];
$start='2014-05-14 19:15:00';
$start = date('l, d-M-y H:i:s T', $post['begin']);

but not worked for me. How I get the desired date?

Answer 1

The format is wrong and you need a timestamp for date(). To get the format 7:15 PM 14th May 2014 you will need to convert the datetime string to a timestamp and then format it correctly:

$start = date('g:i A jS F Y', strtotime($post['begin']));

Answer 2

$start=date('l, d-M-y H:i:s T',strtotime($post['begin']));

Answer 3

Use DateTime class for date operations

$start='2014-05-14 19:15:00' ;
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $start);
echo $date->format('l, d-M-y H:i:s T') ;
