Parameters

format => String
The format of the output date string. The format string works in a nearly identical way to the PHP date function which is highlighted here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php. The only difference is the fact that "u" signifies milliseconds instead of microseconds. The following characters are recognized in the format parameter string:
- d - Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros
- D - A textual representation of a day, three letters
- j - Day of the month without leading zeros
- l (lowercase 'L') - A full textual representation of the day of the week
- N - ISO-8601 numeric representation of the day of the week (starting from 1)
- S - English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2 characters st, nd, rd or th. Works well with j.
- w - Numeric representation of the day of the week (starting from 0)
- z - The day of the year (starting from 0)
- W - ISO-8601 week number of year, weeks starting on Monday
- F - A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March
- m - Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros
- M - A short textual representation of a month, three letters
- n - Numeric representation of a month, without leading zeros
- t - Number of days in the given month
- L - Whether it's a leap year
- o - ISO-8601 year number. This has the same value as Y, except that if the ISO week number (W) belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead.
- Y - A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits
- y - A two digit representation of a year
- a - Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem
