Question

I submit a date through a form such as below

2012-07-24 17:50

but on the result page I want to change it’s format and echo it to

Tuesday, 24 of July

How do I do this? Should I use PHP or JavaScript?

Answer 1

I find PHP easier to work with:

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d g:i", "2012-07-24 17:50");
echo $date->format("l, j of F");
