php change date time format code example

Example 1: php change date format

To convert the date-time format PHP provides strtotime() and date() function. We change the date format from one format to another.

Change YYYY-MM-DD to DD-MM-YYYY
<? php.
$currDate = "2020-04-18";
$changeDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($currDate));
echo "Changed date format is: ". $changeDate. " (MM-DD-YYYY)";
?>

Example 2: change date format php

$currDate = "2020-08-25";
$changeDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($currDate));
echo $changedDate;

Example 3: php date strtotime format

$date = '25/05/2010';
$date = str_replace('/', '-', $date);
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));

Example 4: change datetime format from Y-m-d h:i:s to d-m-Y in php

$old_date = date('l, F d y h:i:s');              // returns Saturday, January 30 10 02:06:34
$old_date_timestamp = strtotime($old_date);
$new_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $old_date_timestamp);
