PHP date conversion dd [th/st/rd] / month / yyyy

I have my users entering the date in this format :- mm/dd/yyyy (11/21/2012)

My PHP script converts the date into the following format :- dd-Month-yyyy (21-November-2012)

I do this using :-

$new_date = date('d-F-Y', strtotime($user_date));

How can I have the date in this format :- 21st November 2012?

Thanks

You can use S letter as following:

$new_date = date('jS F Y', strtotime($user_date));

Check manual.

You can use something like:

echo date('l, F jS');

Or even get a bit fancy with the HTML:

echo date('l, F j<\s\u\p>S</\s\u\p>');

$new_date = date('jS F Y', strtotime($date));

S - English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters (st, nd, rd or th. Works well with j)

It will output as you expect

$my_date = '2016-01-01';

echo date('F jS, Y', strtotime($my_date));
# January 1st, 2016

while dS will also prepends 0

echo date('F dS, Y', strtotime($my_date));
# January 01st, 2016
