i have stored the date in the following format...

2008-01-07 15:42:00

it is year,day,month, hour,min,sec

and wish to convert it to the format needed for RSS feeds.

"D, d M Y H:i:s GMT"

This should work (untested!):


$original_date = "2008-01-07 15:42:00";
$reformatted_date = date("D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T", strtotime($original_date));


Might come out with 7th Jan rather than 1st July though ...

i have PHP version 4.3.11

is there another way?

Both date() and strtotime() are present in all versions of PHP4 :)

Opps! Just noticed you'd replied to the original version of my message! Lol! Yep, the edited one should work - but watch the d/m thing m/d thing

Where do you have it stored in that format?

Edit: And do you truely want that to be - year,day,month or do you want it to be year,month,day?

Indeed, if it's in a MySQL database you can use the DATE_FORMAT function.
