Use DateTime object
$i = 'Thu Jul 12 2012 11:03:36 GMT 0';
$d = DateTime::createFromFormat('D M d Y H:i:s * *', $i);
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); # or whatever you need

One way would to to use preg_replace and use a pattern (30 Minute Regex Tutorial).
<?php
$string = 'Thu Jul 12 2012 11:03:36 GMT 0';
$pattern = '/GMT [0-9]*/';
$replacement = ' ';
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
?>
Output
Thu Jul 12 2012 11:03:36
or explode $string = explode('GMT', $string);
