Date Formatting

[spires]

Hi

 

Simple question, how do I reFormat a date.

 

$dateCreated  (2012-01-14)

 

to become:  14th jan 2012

 

 

So far I have this, but it's not working:

$expDate = explode('-',$dateCreated);
$date1 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m', $expDate[1]), date('d', $expDate[2]), date('Y', $expDate[0]));
$date = date('d m Y', $date1);

 

 

 

Thanks

perhaps something like this(bleary eyed - untested)...

 

<?php 
$date1 = "2012-01-04";
$date2 = date("l - \T\h\e jS \d\a\y \of F", strtotime($date1))

?>
