I have the following date format: 2010-04-15 23:59:59

In addition to using date and strtotime, you can do

$dateTime = new DateTime('2010-04-15 23:59:59');
echo $dateTime->format('jS M Y'); // 15th Apr 2010

or

$dateTime = date_create('2010-04-15 23:59:59');
echo date_format($dateTime, 'jS M Y'); // 15th Apr 2010
