convert date in php day/month name, year

Question

I have a query that inserts date in this format

$time = date("m-d-y");

But when I Fetch and output date it shows wrong date. real: October 2020 but outputs: January 1970

$time = $row1['time'];
$newDate = date('F Y', strtotime($time));
echo $newDate;

How do I output date in this format: 20 OCT, 2020

Answer 1

Try not to store date/time using varchar datatype. If you can change it, please do. However, if you can't change database structure, you can use date_create_from_format() to create a DateTime object from a custom format:

echo date_create_from_format('m-d-y', "10-29-20")->format('F Y');

Output:

October 2020

Edit : Change the format part to ->format('d M, Y') to match your desired format Output:

29 Oct, 2020
