PHP Convert ISO date to more readable format?

Question

Just a simple question. How do I convert a PHP ISO time (like 2010-06-23T20:47:48-04:00) to something more readable? Is there a function already built in PHP? I've looked around but I haven't seen anything to convert times. If there's not a function, is it possible?

Thank you

Answer 1

$format = "d M Y"; //or something else that date() accepts as a format
date_format(date_create($time), $format);

Answer 2

Try this:

echo date( "Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2010-06-23T20:47:48-04:00") );

Format this part "Y-m-d H:i:s" using format from this documentation http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Answer 3

echo strftime("%b %e %Y at %l:%M %p", strtotime($ios));

will do
