Covnertime timestamp to words?

[EchoFool]

Hey,

 

 

Is there a PHP function that converts a timestamp to words automatically?

 

 

I have the timestamp in this format:

 

 

0000-00-00 00:00:00

 

 

But i want it to display into words like for example:

 

Mon 12th December 2011 8:00PM

 

Can't work out how to do it with my own function it seems over complex to work out what day it would be so am wondering if PHP already has a such a function?

Yes.

I saw that function though i don't get how it converts it to what i need?

 

If i put

 

<?php
date("Y-m-d H:i:s",time());
?>

That just gives me the server time, but im trying to convert a stored timestamp from the database...

Argh i worked it out Had to use strtotime() in order for it to work on my variable!

 

Thanks for the tip!

If you're getting it from MySQL then there's also DATE_FORMAT.
