Yes, with strtotime():
<?php
function decipherDate($string, $format)
{
if(!$formatted = @date($format, strtotime($string)))
return 'Unable to understand decipher date string.';
return $formatted;
}
/* Sunday, April 15 20001 */
print decipherDate('20010415',"l, j F Y");
print "\n";
/* 'Unable to understand decipher date string. */
print decipherDate('thisisgarbage234',"l, j F Y");
print "\n";
/* Tuesday, 8 March 2005 */
print decipherDate('march 8, 2005',"l, j F Y");
?>
