Just replace the hardcoded date with your value

$timestamp = strtotime('2-March-2011');
$newDate = date('d-F-Y', $timestamp); 
echo $newDate; //outputs 02-March-2011

---

You could use regex, string splitting, sprintf(), etc, but I'd rather use the native DateTime object.

$str = '2-March-2011';

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('j-F-Y', $str);

var_dump($date->format('d-F-Y')); // string(13) "02-March-2011" 

See it.

Convert the input string to a timestamp, then format that as desired. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php for formatting options.

$input = '2-March-2011';
$time = strtotime($input);
$output = date('d-F-Y',$time);

Short version:

echo date('d-F-Y',strtotime('2-March-2011'));

---

A quick hop over to the documentation reveals that everyone else was correct when they said this:

echo date('d-F-Y', strtotime('2-March-2011'));

---

If you have the date as a Unix timestamp (eg: $date = time();), then you can just use the inbuilt date() function:

echo date('j-F-Y');

Otherwise, you can look at using strtotime() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php) to get it into Unix time, or alternatively use a more object-oriented approach as alex has shown.

Code Sample : echo date('d-F-Y',strtotime('2011-03-02'));
