How to change received date format in PHP?

  • 772

From a query I receive the date as follows:

2018-07-06 22:24:44

Through:

<h4>'.$fecha.'</h4>

How can I change that format, without having to modify the database, how can I convert that date to this format:

Julio 06,2018

    It is best to work with the functions that PHP already has

    Axis:

    setlocale(LC_ALL,"es_ES@euro","es_ES","esp");
$d = "2018-07-06";
$fecha = strftime("%d de %B de %Y", strtotime($date_post));
echo $fecha;

    The date output:06 de julio de 2018

    You can also play around with the code

    Axis:

    function obtenerFechaEnLetra($fecha){
    $dia= conocerDiaSemanaFecha($fecha);
    $num = date("j", strtotime($fecha));
    $anno = date("Y", strtotime($fecha));
    $mes = array('enero', 'febrero', 'marzo', 'abril', 'mayo', 'junio', 'julio', 'agosto', 'septiembre', 'octubre', 'noviembre', 'diciembre');
    $mes = $mes[(date('m', strtotime($fecha))*1)-1];
    return $dia.', '.$num.' de '.$mes.' del '.$anno;
}

function conocerDiaSemanaFecha($fecha) {
    $dias = array('Domingo', 'Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miércoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sábado');
    $dia = $dias[date('w', strtotime($fecha))];
    return $dia;
}

    The date output:Viernes, 6 de julio del 2018

    In the official PHP documentation, you can find the following references.

  2. try the following code, which you must assign as you want the date with m-d-Ywhich only the format changes.

    $fecha = "2018-07-07";
$fechaNueva = date("m-d-Y", strtotime($fecha));

    other ways to do it

    $fecha = "2018-07-07";
echo $fecha->format('d-m-Y');

    Edition 1:

    $fecha = "2018-07-07"; //fecha de prueba
$mes = date("m",strtotime($fecha));  //obtenemos el mes en numero

 $monthName = date("F", mktime(0, 0, 0, $mes, 10)); //lo convertimos en cadena
 $year=date("y",strtotime($fecha));//obtenemos el año
 $dia=date("d",strtotime($fecha));// obtenemos el dia
 echo $monthName.' '.$dia.','.$year; // lo juntamos con el formato se quiere

    The result is July 07,18, the new problem is the language

  3. Documentation about Date

    You can implement PHP's Date function like this:

    This is the code:

    <?php //php 7.0.8

$today = date("F j, Y"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
echo $today;
?>

    and it shows you something like this:

    July 7, 2018

  4. I recommend you to use a very good library to parse your dates with PHP and you could easily use it with composer.

    To install this library with composer:

    $ composer require fightbulc/moment

    Easy to parse your dates with a few lines of code:

    <?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Se establece el lenguaje
\Moment\Moment::setLocale('es_ES');

$m = new \Moment\Moment('2018-07-06 22:24:44'); // Se agrega la fecha
echo $m->format('F j, Y'); // Imprime: julio 6, 2018

    In this and many other ways you could change the format of your dates.
