Question

I have a variable $date

Which contains a date in the following format: 'Monday, 24 August 2015'

Or as a strtotime: '1440716400'

Id like to change it to the following format: '24/08/2015'

How can I do this please?

Simply date()

$timestamp = strtotime('Monday, 24 August 2015');
echo date("d/m/Y", $timestamp); // Here you put the format you want
