How to change date format using jQuery/Javascript?

Question

Today I want to transfrom date into different format using jQuery/Javascript :

$date = '2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z'
$cool = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date));

How can I do that (PHP) in jQuery/Javascript ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the javascript date object.

<script>
  var date = new Date('2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z');
  var day = date.getDate();
  var month = date.getMonth();
  var year = date.getFullYear();

  document.write(year + '-' + month + '-' + day);
</script>
