PHP date from MySQL format to swedish month. Error DateTimeInterface

I have a row coming from mysql query like this:

$date=$row['date'];

In MySQL this date is stored like this:

2024-12-28 (Y-m-d)

I want to display this date in Swedish language like this:

28 Maj 2024

I am trying it like this:

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sv_SE');
$date=$row['date'];
echo date_format($date,"d M Y");

But I get error DateTimeInterface, any idea how to achieve this?

>Solution :

Are you sure, $date is already an object?
You need to parse it first. Also date_format can not handle internationalization, you have to use IntlDateFormatter:

$row['date'] = '2024-5-28';

$cal = IntlCalendar::fromDateTime($row['date']);
echo IntlDateFormatter::formatObject($cal, "d MMMM Y", 'sv_SE');

will print

28 maj 2024
