Format Date to Display Abbreviated Month Name 11 Jun 2013 15:19 #7421

In the snippet below, what do I need to set formatDate to in order to display the abbreviated month name:

I want to display something like Jan 01, 2013.

Here is the my snippet:
echo JDom::_('html.fly.datetime', array(
					'dataKey' => 'hire_date',
					'dataObject' => $this->item,
					'dateFormat' => "%Y.%m.%d"
					));

I tried "%b %m, %Y" with no luck.

Thanks for the help.

Remove the %, they are not used.
'dateFormat' => "b m, Y"
Coding is now a piece of cake

I can't find the docs for that, right now.

The output is given by Joomla. It is an odd format.
You can also read your lang files to check this string for standard datetime strings.

Can somebody help ?
