Barand Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 strtotime() recognises some formats and not others, so playing safe <?php $date = '7.4.2007'; list ($m, $d, $y) = explode ('.', $date); // swap $m and $d if using d.m.yyyy format $rss_date = date('D, j M Y', strtotime("$y-$m-$d")); echo $rss_date; ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/58785-solved-converting-date-format/#findComment-291804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
