将字符串转换为正确的日期格式（joomla格式）[重复]

I got a barebone joomla version (so just pure php using the joomla cms and table names). And the published date of an article is saved like this:

2016-04-06 14:38:52

How can I convert that string into something like:

6 April 2016

So ignore the time and only use the date in the correct format.

How can this be done using PHP (no joomla build in functions)?

You can do it with date and strtotime function of php

$t="2016-04-06 14:38:52";
echo date('j F Y', strtotime($t));

F :- A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March

j :- Day of the month without leading zeros

Y :- A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits

OUTPUT

6 April 2016

You can do it also in object oriented way:

//create a DateTimeObject
$dateTime = new DateTime($date);

echo $dateTime->format('j F Y'); //output: 6 April 2016

Explanation of j F Y:

j - Day of the month without leading zeros
F - A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March
Y - A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits

We can also do this using the DateTime class native to PHP.

$date = "2016-04-05 16:00:00";
$odate = DateTime:createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date);

Note that I use the createFromFormat method to initiate the DateTime object. This will prevent dates such as 2016-04-05 from being interpreted in the wrong way. This date could just as well be The 4th of May.

Now, to output

// Output
echo $oDate->format('j F Y');

F - A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March

j - Day of the month without leading zeros

Y - A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits
