displaying date

[kirkh34]

i have a messaging system where i'd like to display the date and time of a message.... how can i take 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and pull from it to display the words, like sunday, april 25, 2010 6:00 pm, is there any easy way to do this?

Use strtotime and strftime together:

 

echo strftime('%A, %B %d, %Y %I:%M %P', strtotime($time));

 

If it doesn't output anything, it may be due to '%P', my system doesn't seem to support it, but supports '%p' which produces an uppercase 'PM'/'AM'

You can also use the date function...

echo date('l, f j, Y g:i a', strtotime($time));
