Format a date string in PHP

Question

If I have a string which represents a date, like \"2011/07/01\" (which is 1st July 2011) , how would I output that in more readable forms, like:

1 July 201         


        

Answer 1

As for the second one:

$time1 = time();
$time2 = $time1 + 345600; // 4 days
if( date("j",$time1) != date("j",$time2) && date("FY",$time1) == date("FY",$time2) ){
   echo date("j",$time1)." - ".date("j F Y",$time2);
}

Can be seen in action here

Just make up more conditions
