Format datetime for display in PHP

Hi,

 

This must be really simple because I can't find any example of how to do this.  All I want to do is make my datetimes look nice.  Here is what I get out of my query results object: 

 

2009-09-04T06:43:36.000Z

 

And I would like to format it like this:

 

 

09/04/2009, 12:43 PM

 

Can anyone clue me in?

You can use strtotime to convert to Unix time and then date to format it, or use a regular expression to parse the SF datetime.
