You could use:

echo date('F Y', strtotime('20130814'));

which should do the trick.

Edit: You have a date which is in a string format. To be able to format it nicelt, you first need to change it into a date itself - which is where strtotime comes in. It is a fantastic feature that converts almost any plausible expression of a date into a date itself. Then we can actually use the date() function to format the output into what you want.

if you want same string output then try below else use without double quotes for proper output

$str = '20130814';
  echo date('"F Y"', strtotime($str));

//output  : "August 2013"

I think your date data should look like 2013-08-14.

<?php
 $yrdata= strtotime('2013-08-14');
    echo date('M-Y', $yrdata);
 ?>
// Output is Aug-2013
