PHP：在Localhost上将日期转换为单词

Question

I extracted a date out of a MySQL database:

echo $nextup['date'] 

which is echoed as an DATETIME:

2014-03-19 15:21:42

Now, I'd like to convert/cast this to a readable form:

19 March 2014 15:21:42

but I couldn't find how. I've read the date/time manual for PHP but it doesn't say how to convert.

Thanks in advance!

Try strtotime and date combination:

function translate_names($eng) {
    $names = array (
      'Januari' => 'January',
      'Februari' => 'February',
      'Maart' => 'March',
      'April' => 'April',
      'Mei' => 'May',
      'Juni' => 'June',
      'Juli' => 'July',
      'Augustus' => 'August',
      'September' => 'September',
      'Oktober' => 'October',
      'November' => 'November',
      'December' => 'December',
);

    return array_search($eng, $names);
}

$date = $nextup['date'];
$month = addcslashes(translate_names(date('F', strtotime($date))), 'a..zA..Z');

$string = "d $month Y H:i:s";
echo date($string, strtotime($date));
