PHP从2011年11月25日到11月25日从xml Feed转换日期格式？ [关闭]

Question

Im importing content from an XML feed. The date format for the date field is 25 November 2011, which I need to convert into 25 Nov. Whats the best way to do this?

I could use str_replace to replace each month with its abbreviation, but im wondering if there is a cleaner solution.

Answer 1

The most elegant solution would be to use DateTime.

$date = new DateTime("25 November 2011");
echo $date->format("j M");
