I used a cURL , to make an api , in which I would get a specific date.
The problem is that the content returned is in English, for example: September 18, 2018 .
How could I format this to "en"?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
$espdata = GetStr($data,'<exemplo>','</exemplo>');
echo $espdata; //September 18, 2018
Simply use the DateTime class.
new DateTime('September 18, 2018')
Result:
DateTime {#168
+"date": "2018-09-18 00:00:00.000000",
+"timezone_type": 3,
+"timezone": "America/Sao_Paulo",
}
If you like to use the date function, you can combine with strtotime :
date('d/m/Y', strtotime('September 18, 2018'))
Result:
"18/09/2018"
A constructor of class DateTime and function strtotime interprets a string and transforms it into a date.
See working at Ideone
try
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
$data = new DateTime();
$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter('pt_BR',
IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
IntlDateFormatter::NONE,
IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN);
echo $formatter->format($data);
