Change XML date from yyyymmdd to Month Day, Year

I'm using PHP to output data from an XML file, specifically the date, which outputs as "20101110."

Can I use PHP to change this to November 10, 2011? If so, how?

Here's my page and code:

    $file = 'http://www.gostanford.com/data/xml/events/m-baskbl/2010/index.xml';
    $xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

    foreach($xml as $event_date){
        if(!empty($event_da开发者_C百科te->event['vn']) && !empty($event_date->event['hn']) && !empty($event_date->event['vs']) && !empty($event_date->event['hs']))
        { 
            echo '<li>';
                echo '<h3>', $event_date->event['vn'], ' vs ', $event_date->event['hn'], '</h3>';
                echo '<p><strong>', $event_date->event['vs'], ' - ', $event_date->event['hs'], '</strong></p>';
                echo '<p>', $event_date['date'], '</p>';
                echo '<p>', $event_date->event['local_time'], '</p>';
            echo '</li>';   
        }
    }

Thanks for your help!


You can use the date() function, in combination with the strtotime() function:

echo date('F j, Y', strtotime($event_date['date']));


Sure, here's an example function:

function toRealDate($str) {
    $year = substr($str, 0, 4);
    $month = substr($str, 4, 2);
    $day = substr($str, 6, 2);
    $months = array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");
    return $months[(int)$month - 1] . ' ' . (int)$day . ', ' . $year;
}
