[SOLVED] putting variable in date()

[ksduded]

I want to format my date in the form of April 12th 2008. Though I want to pass a variable which has the value '2008-02-12' into the date function and format is as mentioned.

 

Thanks in advance

Replace Fomat HERE with the format you want

<?php echo date("Format HERE", strtotime('2008-02-12'));?>

You need to use the strtotime() function to convert the date string into a form the date() function can use:

<?php
$date = '2008-02-12';
echo date('F jS Y',strtotime($date));
?>
