When upgrading to PHP 8.1, I got an error regarding "strftime".
How do I correct the code to correctly display the full month name in any language?

 $date = strftime("%e %B %Y", strtotime('2010-01-08'))

My Answer:
the use of the `strftime()` function, which has been deprecated in PHP 8.1. This function was used to format a timestamp into a string based on a specified format.

To fix this issue, you can use the `date()` function instead, which provides similar functionality for formatting dates and times. Here is an example of how you can replace `strftime()` with `date()`:

Before:
php
echo strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time());


After:
php
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());


By making this simple change, you can ensure that your code is compatible with PHP 8.1 and avoid any deprecated function warnings.
