Echo a date variable as a another format

Question

$start_date and $end_date are dates, but they need a D/M/Y format. How can i echo it as that format?

<?php
foreach($wp_trips as $wp_trip){
  if($is_day_trip){
    echo '<li>' .  $wp_trip->start_date . '</li>';                                        
  } else {
    echo '<li>' .  $wp_trip->start_date . ' t/m ' . $wp_trip->end_date . '</li>');
  }
} 
?>

Michael try this:

$originalDate = $wp_trip->start_date;
$newDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($originalDate));

you should explain your code so OP understands the problem and solution - not just remembers it. – treyBake Oct 31 '18 at 13:02

For example you had date format like this

$trip = '2018-10-31 00:00:00'; //Sample Date Format

$newFormat = date('d M Y',strtotime($trip));
echo $newFormat;

Out put should be 31 Oct 2018.

Here full documentation of date formats : http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

echo '<li>'. date('D/M/Y', strtotime($wp_trip->start_date)).'</li>';

You have to use strtotime

Using strtotime() to convert your time string into time stamp and then using PHP date() function to output your desired format:

echo date("d/M/Y", strtotime($wp_trip->start_date));
