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

You can use this

echo date('F,Y',strtotime($date));

Answer 2

You are not using correct parameters, use F for moth and Y for year

Full code:

$date = '2017-07-00';
$date = date('F, Y ', strtotime($date));
echo $date;

Answer 3

Try This.

$date = '2017-07-01';
$date = date('F, Y', strtotime($date));

echo $date;

Answer 4

No Need of DATE_FORMAT() function.

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

<?php
$date = '2017-07-00';
echo date('F, Y', strtotime($date)); //June, 2017
?>

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

<?php
$date = '2017-07-01';
echo date('F, Y', strtotime($date)); //July, 2017
?>
