When storing date or datetime in the MySQL database it stores it in american format, for example:
2013-04-12 02:12:26
So when it comes for the need to output the above datetime to your website page, you would probably want to display it in a more user-friendly manner.
To view the PHP datetime attrributes visited the official PHP manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
Formatting DateTime from your Database Table
Here are some suggestions using PHP code and the corresponding display output ...
<?php echo date('l jS F Y',strtotime($row_YourRecordSet['YourTableName'])); ?>
<?php echo date('l jS M Y',strtotime($row_YourRecordSet['YourTableName'])); ?>
Formatting Current DateTime from the Server
This section is based on formatting the current datetime stamp from the LINUX server your website is hosted on:
<?php echo date('l jS F Y G:sa'); ?>
<?php echo date('l jS M Y G:sa'); ?>
<?php echo date('l jS F Y'); ?>
<?php echo date('l jS M Y'); ?>
