Extract the date and month in codeigniter

How extract the date and month in codeigniter

<?php echo $row->order_date; ?>

This code return the date in YYYY-MM-DD format .I want to change the format in to MM-DD in codeigniter view.

Solution

  • Use DateTime class

    Try this way

    $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $row->order_date);
$new_date_format = $date->format('m-d');

    PS: suppose, the order_date is comming from db so i would recommand you to convert date in sql query.
