Question

I am using-
echo $post->entry_time;
this will echo a proper timestamp like - 2015-12-09 13:47:46.
i want to format it with 16 December 2015 with time.

In below i have created function for get UTCmills to Date , just add function in helper.php and you can use in view, controller and model,
/*
#return convert UTC milisec to date format
#param $milisec , $formate
#explain 1 $milisec convert to date
#explain 2 $formate convert as per date format
*/
function UTCmillsToDate($milisec, $formate = "Y-M-D") {
$mil = $milisec;
$seconds = $mil / 1000;
if ($formate == "YMD") {
return date("Ymd", $seconds);
} else if ($formate == "Y-M-D") {
return date("Y-m-d", $seconds);
} else if ($formate == "d/m/Y") {
return date("d/m/Y", $seconds);
} else if ($formate == "Y-m-d H:i:s") {
return date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $seconds);
}else if ($formate == "d-m-Y H:i:s") {
return date("d-m-Y H:i:s", $seconds);
}
else if ($formate == "s") {
return date("r", $seconds);
} else {
return date("d-m-Y", $seconds);
}
}
Example :
1 ==> UTCmillsToDate('1449750420')
Output: 2015-10-12
2 => UTCmillsToDate('1449750420','Y-m-d H:i:s')
Output: 2015-10-12 12:27:00
