Date in custom format

[phpmagesh]

Hi,

I have to show system date in custom format

For example: 2009/Oct/06

I want to show date in above format. how to get this output .

i used the below format

$months = array(1 => "Jan", 2 => "Feb", 3 => "Mar", 4 => "Apr", 5 => "May", 6 => "Jun", 7 => "Jul", 8 => "Aug", 9 => "Sep", 10 => "Oct", 11 => "Nov", 12 => "Dec");
 
$raw_date = date("Y/m/d");
list($year, $month, $day) = split('[/]', $raw_date);        
$date = $year . "/" . $month . "/" . $day;
 

But i struck how to apply that array format in this format?

Can any one help me how to get the custom format date using php.

Thanks in advance

@phpmagesh
you probably wrote "Y/m/d" since "Y/M/d" resulted in the desired output (I tested that!)

@cestapassu
well, obviously. haven’t you looked at date()’s formatting options? (that’s about three dozen letters)
