PHP Date Format to Month Name and Year [closed]

Question

I have this date data :

20130814

How to get string output like this : (in PHP)

"August 2013"

Answer 1

You could use:

echo date('F Y', strtotime('20130814')); 

which should do the trick.

Edit: You have a date which is in a string format. To be able to format it nicelt, you first need to change it into a date itself - which is where strtotime comes in. It is a fantastic feature that converts almost any plausible expression of a date into a date itself. Then we can actually use the date() function to format the output into what you want.
