Hide hour from displaying when using user_registered

Question

$user->user_registered displays "Registered since: 2014-08-18 07:25:22"

I just want to show the date, not the hour. How can I hide the hour and just show the date?

thank you

Answer 1

You could just show the first 10 characters of the string, like:

echo substr($user->user_registered, 0, 10);

Answer 2

Consider using DateTime as this would give the ability to format the date:

$user = wp_get_current_user();
$date = new DateTime($user->user_registered);
echo 'Registered since: '.$date->format('jS F Y');
