Question

PHP code:

echo date("c");  //out put like this 2012-06-19T20:37:44+05:30   
echo date("d M, Y");  //out put "Jun 19,2012"

$time=date("c");
echo date("d M, Y",$time);// This is not working. What could the reason be?

My requirement is to convert ISO8601 format to ‘d M ,Y’. I need it in this format to use with the timeago jQuery plugin.

Answer 1

You need to use the strtotime() function.

echo date("d M, Y",strtotime(date("c")));
