How to echo 2011-01-31 as 31 January 2011?

How I can echo 2011-01-31 as 31 January 2011? The input (2011-01-31) 开发者_如何转开发comes from the database (type: date).

Also is there any option to use locale names for the month?

Edit:

$date = date_create($row['bdate']);
echo date_format($date, 'd F Y'); //31 January 2010

could be solution but date_format has no option for other languages(?). Is there any solution? Like 31 Ocak 2011

Probably is strftime what you seek.

Example: echo strftime('%d %B %Y', strtotime($db_entry));

Use strtotime to convert 2011-01-31 to a timestamp:

echo date( 'd F Y', strtotime( $row['bdate'] ) );

<?php

echo date('d F Y', strtotime("2011-01-31"));

Try using strftime()

$date = strtotime($row['bdate']);
echo strftime('%d %B %Y', $date);
