I'm using MagpieRSS to parse some Craigslist feeds.
The problem is the publish dates for craigslist posts are in this format: 2010-02-25T18:09:38-06:00
How can I convert that to Thursday, February 25, 2010 6:09 PM
using php?

date('l, F d, Y h:i A', strtotime($the_date));
edit:
date(DATE_RFC822, strtotime($the_date));
is close, but doesn't match your requirements exactly (i.e. it uses abbreviated days / months, 24hour time and includes a timezone string) as specified in RFC822

This works except it shows the time 1 hour ahead of what's on the rss feed, although that may not have to do with formatting. – Chad Feb 26 '10 at 00:53

@Chad: If your server's timzezone is not GMT-0600 that would explain the difference. – jasonbar Feb 26 '10 at 00:57

Makes sense, that's what I was thinking. Thanks. – Chad Feb 26 '10 at 00:58

or just `date(DATE_RSS, strtotime($the_date))` – machineaddict Sep 20 '13 at 11:58
