and I want to convert it to September 17 only

how can I do this using PHP code?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Why not do it directly in MYSQL using DATE_FORMAT()

SELECT DATE_FORMAT('2012-09-17 00:55:56','%M %d')

DateTime solution:-

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d h:i:s', getDateSomeHow());
echo $date->format('F d');
