    This is the code for different date format

    <?php
    // Assuming today is March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm, and that we are in the
    // Mountain Standard Time (MST) Time Zone
    
    $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");                 // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
    $today = date("m.d.y");                         // 03.10.01
    $today = date("j, n, Y");                       // 10, 3, 2001
    $today = date("Ymd");                           // 20010310
    $today = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day');     // 05-16-18, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Satpm01
    $today = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.');   // it is the 10th day.
    $today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");               // Sat Mar 10 17:16:18 MST 2001
    $today = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h');     // 17:03:18 m is month
    $today = date("H:i:s");                         // 17:16:18
    ?>

    hi,

    I can`t change the date format. Date format is coming from a class. This is what i have got so far

    
    
    $pieces = explode("-", $date); // $date format is  2010-11-30
    
    $year1 = $pieces[0];
    $month1 = $pieces[1];
    $day1 = $pieces[2];
    
    $arr = array("1" => "January","2" => "February","3" => "March","4" => "April","5" => "May","6" => "June","7" => "July","8" => "August","9" => "September","10" => "October","11" => "November","12" => "December");
    
    $newmonth = strtr($month1,$arr);
    $mynewdate = "$day1-$newmonth-$year1"; // i managed to turn it to 30-November-2010

    you can do this:

    
    
    $date = strtotime("$date 00:00:00");
    
    $mynewdate = date('l j F Y', $date);

    For example you should insert this to a table with text.

    $time = gmdate("M d, Y, H:i");

    if you use $mynewdate = date('l j F Y'); you will get today's date

    you will need to specify the date as well to get a time other than the current date

    $mynewdate = date('l j F Y', $date);
