Question

I’m returning a date from my database and converting it to a formatted date, but instead of showing the full month it says “Apr” instead. Is there a way I can make it show the full month and not just the abbreviation?

Code

while(($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_date)))
    $date[] = date("M d",strtotime($row[0]));

And this is what my DB is returning 2012-04-25 22:07:35, the date function return this Apr 25

Answer 1

The format should be,

while(($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_date)))
    $date[] = date("F d",strtotime($row[0]));

Here, you can get all formats..
