PHP 5.4：日期格式之间的转换[重复]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Convert one date format into another in PHP 15 answers

I have dates in the following format:

2016-10-12
|    |  |
YEAR M  D

and I need:

12.10.16
|  |  |
D  M  YEAR

I have managed to parse date in source format:

$date = date_parse_from_format('YYYY-mm-dd', $dateYYYYMMDD);

But I am having trouble converting it to a new format. Could you please help.

Answer 1

Most flexible is to use the Datetime class:

<?php
$date = new Datetime('2016-10-12');
var_dump($date->format('d.m.y'));

The output obviously is:

string(8) "12.10.16"
