This question already has an answer here:
Use date()
$sqldate = "2016-07-18";
$newDate = date("d-m-Y",$sqldate);
I also use
implode('-', array_reverse(explode('/', $sqldate)));
I am trying to convert a date from yyyy-mm-dd to dd-mm-yyyy (but not in SQL); however I don't know how the date function requires a timestamp, and I can't get a timestamp from this string.
I am getting particular date format. WHY? I tried get a date expected format, i tried php date but no success..
I excpected output
18/07/2016
</div>
Use strtotime().
$sqldate = "2016-03-21";
echo $newDate = date("d/m/Y", strtotime($sqldate));
Output
21/03/2016

$sqldate = "2016-03-21";
$newDate = date("d-m-Y",strtotime($sqldate));
this is what you need.
$sqldate = "2016-03-21";
echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime($sqldate));
