formatting a date output

I've got an开发者_如何学Python arry with dates.

print_r ($date[$i]);

will output sth. like: 2011-06-16

Is it possible to create an output like: 16.6.2011 ? How would I do that? have you got a reference?

<?

echo date('d.m.Y', strtotime( $date[$i] ) );

?>

you should find that this page has all the answers for you

You can use the date function to print it, using the strtotime function to first convert it to a Unix timestamp. Or you can use the DateTime functions like:

date_create($date[$i])->format('d.n.Y');

If you don't want leading 0's on your day, then you should use:

date_create($date[$i])->format('j.n.Y');

use the php date() function

you can see a documentation about it here

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

You don't really have a date, but a string. Either manipulate the string with the string manipulation functions, or parse and re-format the date string with the date functions.

date('d.n.Y', strtotime($date[$i]));

There is a reference when you search in Google for "date" ;)
