How to append a string in date function first parameter?

Question

I have following code

$date = '2013-05-11 07:10:14';

echo date('F j, Y at h:i a', strtotime($date); //Not work;  May 11, 2013 at 7:10 am

echo date('F j, Y h:i a', strtotime($date); // This will work when avoiding the `at` from date function.

I am trying to append string in date function to display the above date as May 11, 2013 at 7:10 am. How to make date at this format using prebuilt date function?

Try escaping the at string,

echo date('F j, Y \a\t h:i a', strtotime($date));

DEMO.

You need to escape any letters that are also formatting queues. You have to double escape the "t" because \t is the tab character.

echo date('F j, Y \a\\t h:i a');

See it in action

Without additional escape the code is working. i.e F j, Y \a\t h:i a
