    The date format can be converted with the code below as a guide.

    date('l j F Y', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', '23/02/2012')))

    The str_replace is necessary because with / PHP assumes m/d/y American date format, not the European d/m/y.

    As for doing this in WordPress with i18n support, you might consider http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/date_i18n

    date_i18n('l j F Y', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', '23/02/2012')))
