Memformat sebagian tanggal yang tidak diketahui dengan DateTime() dari database?

Hanya apa yang saya cari (dan tidak ingin mendengar).

Berikut adalah fungsi dasar php bagi anda yang malas seperti saya.

function formatDatabaseDate($date, $delimiter = '/')
{
    // this function works only on mysql date fields, 
    // and takes into account partial dates.
    if ($date != '' && $date != NULL)
    {
        $datePieces = explode('-', $date);
        if (count($datePieces) == 3 && 
            strlen($datePieces[0]) == 4 && 
            strlen($datePieces[1]) == 2 && 
            strlen($datePieces[2]) == 2)
        {
            $datestring = '';

            $months['01'] = 'Jan';
            $months['02'] = 'Feb';
            $months['03'] = 'Mar';
            $months['04'] = 'Apr';
            $months['05'] = 'May';
            $months['06'] = 'Jun';
            $months['07'] = 'Jul';
            $months['08'] = 'Aug';
            $months['09'] = 'Sep';
            $months['10'] = 'Oct';
            $months['11'] = 'Nov';
            $months['12'] = 'Dec';

            if ($datePieces[2] != '00' && $datePieces[1] != '00')
            {
                $datestring = $datePieces[2] . $delimiter 
                            . $months[$datePieces[1]] . $delimiter 
                            . $datePieces[0];
            }
            else if ($datePieces[1] != '00')
            {
                $datestring = $months[$datePieces[1]] . $delimiter 
                            . $datePieces[0];
            }
            else
            {
                $datestring = $datePieces[0];
            }

            return $datestring;

        }
        else
        {
            trigger_error('date is not in a valid mysql format');
            return false;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        trigger_error('empty date passed to format command');
        return false;
    }
}
