Human Readable Date Format List for PHP date Function

PHP offers a large variety of arguments that can be passed to the date() function. You are able to almost everything you want having just the current time stamp. I’ve selected the most useful readable formats – I think you might need it for any purpose. I used it to randomize a site’s content to vary posting dates. So, here is the list:

F j, Y
F j, y
F d, Y
F d, y
d-M-Y
d-M-y
j-M-y
j-M-Y
d/n/y
d/m/y
d/n/Y
d/m/Y
j/m/y
j/m/Y
j/n/y
j/n/Y
Y-m-j
Y-n-j
Y-m-d
Y-n-d
n/d/y
m/d/y
n/d/Y
m/d/Y
m/j/y
n/j/y
m/j/Y

d.n.y
j.m.Y
j.n.Y
j.m.y
