    There will always be people who spoonfeed even the laziest questions. Wonderful, five identical answers. Bleh. Just what this place needs. Yet [another how to format date question](http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=+format+date+php) – Gordon Dec 09 '10 at 21:44

Check out the date function.

$myDate = strtotime('2010-12-07 12:00:00');
$formattedDate = date('F, jS, Y', $myDate)

  • Odd to call a timestamp myDate – Dan Grossman Dec 09 '10 at 21:42
  • Yeah, I guess that's what happens when you take 2 seconds instead of 3 to write a response. I suppose the same could be said of @Dutchie432's response using `$d` instead of `$t` and @John Giotta's response using the same exact naming convention as mine. – Matt Huggins Dec 09 '10 at 21:43
  • Matt is right... The same could be said about my post. With quick one-shot calculations like that, I see no reason why the original variable can't reflect that it will end up being used to calculate a date. In my case, `d` stands for `aDateWillBeCalculatedUsingThisTimestampWhichIsNotInDateFormatYet` – Dutchie432 Dec 13 '10 at 13:28

Use date_format

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-format.php

$date = date_create('2010-12-07 12:00:00');
echo date_format($date, 'F, jS, Y');
