I am getting current date using the function date("Y-m-d"). I want to display date 2017-09-12 as sep 12

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php there is "M" for a 3 letter abbreviation for month. — BenRoob, Sep 12 '17 at 06:42

You can present it as ("M j"). Here is a test version.

If you want to transform it to lowercase, just use strtolower(). Here's an example : https://3v4l.org/kn1lM – Boian Ivanov Sep 12 '17 at 06:50

Here is your date..

$myDate = "2017-09-12";

Then you have to convert your date with Date PHP function

$date = date("M d",mktime("0 0 0 ".$myDate));

echo $date will print Sep 12

d is Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros

M is a short textual representation of a month, three letters
