This article uses PHP strtotime() and date() functions to convert date and time format. For example, if a date is stored in a variable in YYYY-MM-DD format, it needs to be changed to MM-DD-YYYY format.

How to convert date format in PHP

We can achieve this by first converting the date to seconds using the strtotime() function. After using the date() function to reconstruct the date to any format. Here are a few conversion examples:

1. Change YYYY-MM-DD => MM-DD-YYYY

Here we have the date yyyy-mm-dd ("2019-02-18") format and convert it to mm-dd-yyyy ("02-18-2019") format.

$origDate = "2019-02-18";
 
$newDate = date("m-d-Y", strtotime($origDate));
echo $newDate;

The output is:

02-18-2019

2. Change YYYY-MM-DD => DD-MM-YYYY

Here we have the date yyyy-mm-dd ("2019-02-18") format and convert it to dd-mm-yyyy ("18-02-2019") format.

$origDate = "2019-02-18";
 
$newDate = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($origDate));
echo $newDate;

The output result is:

18-02-2019
