Convert Java.util.date to User Friendly Date

I would like to convert a java.util.Date to something more user friendly using PHP. Is there a way of doing this using PHP?

I tried doing something like:

$created = date("F j, Y, g:i a", $issue_fields['created_date']);

but it complained with an error that looks like:

Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in C:\wamp\www\PHP\get_tickets.php on line 49

Unfortunately, I don't have control over the date format I received. The format looks like: 

2013-01-22T11:46:24.000-0800

and I would like something more like September 24, 2011, 6:39 am. Is this possible?

Thanks!

It looks like the given date is in ISO 8601 format. You should be able to convert this to a date object using strtotime:

echo date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime('2013-01-22T11:46:24.000-0800'));

This yields: January 22, 2013, 11:46 am

You can use date_parse_from_format().
