I have this date in my database 11/06/2013 12:00
This is my code and the format I would like it in
$dateformatstart = date_format(date_create($row['datestart']), 'D j M y H:i');
Although it comes back as
Wed 6 Nov 13 12:00
Think the month is the day and day is the month, I don't know why
Thanks
Maybe this helps:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', $row['datestart']);
$dateformatstart = date_format($date, 'D j M y H:i');
Have you even checked out the php manual before asking this question?
Well, Here are some clever ways on how to format dates in PHP
<?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
$today = date("Y/m/d H:i"); // 2001-03-10 17:16:18 (the MySQL DATETIME format)
If you are trying to output a data format like this :
11/06/2013 12:00
then better, Use
$today = date("d/m/Y H:i");
