如何在CakePHP中更改时间戳的格式？

Question

In my application,I retrieve a timestamp from the table which is of the format 2009-08-18 12:09:01. I need to change this to August 18th,2009 or 18 Aug,2009. How to achieve this in CakePHP?

Are there any built in methods?

Answer 1

You can use strptime to parse the string into a datetime and then strftime to format it back into the string you want.
