Get formatted string from formatted date using PHP

Question

Is it possible to get formatted date string format in PHP?

For example,

Input: 2014-02-01
Output: Y-m-d

Input: February 1, 2014
Output: F j, Y

I understand that there will be problems with relative dates, such as tomorrowor 'next monday'. Thus, the input will be a complete date string in the format that is accepted strtotime.

Like fooobar.com/questions/639816 / ... , there is no clear way to do this. You will need to create regular expressions for all formats that you want to support.
