Date format form Jan 30 to 2011-01-30

I have the following date format in a xml sh开发者_运维知识库eet: Jan 30 and I want to display as: 2011-01-30

2011 being the current year

Can someone help me with that?

strtotime will use the current year if none is specified, so this would work

$t=strtotime("Jan 30");

echo strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $t);

strtotime + date gives you:

echo date("Y-m-d", strtotime('30 Jan')); //echoes '2011-01-30'

care to post the xml?

in anycase, take the string $x = "Jan 30"

add 2011

$x = $x . ' ' . date('Y');

convert it to date time and format it

$y = date_format('Y-m-d', strtotime($x));

echo $y;`

strtotime is your key here, it converts most any date format into seconds since the epoch, then all you need do is use the date_format function
