The problem is that you're trying to feed a text string into date(), when really it wants a Unix timestamp. So, you need to convert your input data to a Unix timestamp first, then feed that to date().

Here is the code to do what you want:

<?php
    $date = "2015-02-24 03:21:56";
    $converted = strtotime($date);
    $new_date = date('F j, Y, g:i a', $converted);
    echo $new_date;
?>

how to show only `Feb` ? – peat ribersal Dec 16 '15 at 13:59
If all you want is the word `Feb` (or `Jan`, `Dec`, etc), use `date('M', $converted)`. – TwoStraws Dec 16 '15 at 14:00
