How to format this date (dd/mm/yyyy) into (j M Y) in PHP? [closed]

Answer 1

Here is one way:

$oldDate = "18/08/2011";
$dateArr = explode("/", $oldDate);
$newDate = date("j M Y", mktime(0,0,0,$dateArr[1],$dateArr[0],$dateArr[2]));

Should work as is. Notice the order of the $dateArr elements listed in mktime.
