How to format a dateline using php?

Question

I'm wondering how to make the datelines looks like the same.

e.g

2007-7, 200707 => 2007-07

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use date:

echo date('Y-m', time());

Answer 2

use a combination of strtotime and date:

 echo date('Y-m', strtotime($your_dateline));

Answer 3

You can try with below script...

echo date('Y-m', date());

           or 

echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 2007));
