Stooney Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'm not sure if there's a function for it, but you could explode("-", $datestamp); then just use a switch statement or something to convert the month into english. Just one idea. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/80507-help-with-date-functions/#findComment-408160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbare Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 if you're doing this from your own code, http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php shows all of the functions of date().

ikmyer Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 untested but should work... $old_date = strtotime("2007-12-07"); $new_date = date("F j, Y", $old_date); echo $new_date; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/80507-help-with-date-functions/#findComment-408169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
