I have a form with a date input ($invoicedate)
when i echo $invoicedate on my page it returns for example 2020-06-08
how do i format this to show 06-08-2020 as in day month year ?
Thanks
You can convert the string to a DateTime object DateTime::createFromFormat:
$invoice_dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $invoicedate);
Then create a string with your new format using DateTime::format:
$reformated_invoice_date = $invoice_dt->format('d-m-Y');
