Parsing Twitter API Datestamp

I'm using the twitter API to return a list of status updates and the times they were created. It's returning the creation date in the following format:

Fri Apr 09 12:53:54 +0000 2010

What's the simplest way (with PHP or Javascript) to format this like 09-04-2010?

Solution

  • strtotime("dateString"); gets it into the native PHP date format, then you can work with the date() function to get it printed out how you'd like it.
