convert timestamp to date as text

Hi

I have manged to work out how to convert a timestamp to uk date

  <?php echo date('d-m-Y',strtotime($row_WADAmyTable["Date"])); ?>  

this outputs e.g 15-06-2011

but what I really need is to display 15-Jun-2011

Does any one know how I would code this?

use a capitol M to show a text string Month abbreviation:

<?php echo date('d-M-Y',strtotime($row_WADAmyTable["Date"])); ?>

see the php date manual page for more details:
function.date.php

Thanks once again Jason,

That is working perfectly

you're welcome.

Hi Jason

Just one more quick question.

How would I write the code to get date and time so

16-Jun-2011 19:30

Thanks in advance

refer the php data manual page:
function.date.php

they list all of the parameters to pass in to get the format you want.

  H 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros 00 through 23  

and:

  i Minutes with leading zeros 00 to 59  

so that would mean changing your code to:

<?php echo date('d-M-Y H:i',strtotime($row_WADAmyTable["Date"])); ?>

Hi Jason,

Thanks for this. That was the same code I had but I was missing one of the ending brackets thats why i thought I had it wrong.

Thanks for your help

you're welcome.
