Convert date to month name & year

Question

I am trying to convert a date to month name and year.

$date = \'2017-07-00\';
$date = date(\'m/y\', strtotime($date));
echo DATE_FORMAT($date, \'%M %Y\');
         


        

Answer 1

No Need of DATE_FORMAT() function.

Example-1: If 00 used in day. Then, output will be June, 2017

Example-2: If 01 or valid day used in day. Then, output will be July, 2017
