I know a lot of people will recommend using strtotime() to convert it to
a unix timestamp, then use date() to format that:
Date("m/d/Y",strtotime("Sep 12 2004 2:16AM"))
That may work.. I have an inherent distrust of functions that use too
much logic that isn't apparent to me, so I don't use strtotime() hoping
to avoid it misinterpreting the date/time string I'm giving it. I
prefer full control.
I'd do it the hard way just to have confidence in the results (there's
probably a better "hard way" as well, but here's the quick and dirty):
<?php
$months =
array("Jan"=>1,"Feb"=>2,"Mar"=>3,"Apr"=>4,"May"=>5,"Jun"=>6,"Jul"=>7,"Au
g"=>8,"Sep"=>9,"Oct"=>10,"Nov"=>11,"Dec"=>12);
$origdate = "Sep 12 2004 2:16AM";
List($textmonth,$day,$year,$time) = explode(" ",$origdate);
$newdate = Date("m/d/Y",mktime(0,0,0,$months[$textmonth],$day,$year);
?>
But that's just one way to skin this cat.
