从数据库PHP显示日期

Question

right now I'm storing a date in the database, in the format date("Y-m-d") and im storing it in date column.

Now, I've retrieved it from the database but how can i display it like

October 31st 2010

Thanks!

Answer 1

Convert the date to a timestamp using strtotime and format it using date.

echo date('F jS Y', strtotime($databaseDate));

The preferred way going forward should be the use of the DateTime class though:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tokyo');

$date = new DateTime($databaseDate);
echo $date->format('F jS Y');
