Printing A MongoDB Date From PHP

Question

How in PHP do I get the regular timestamp format out of a MongoDB date?

Assume I have:

$my_date;
print_r($my_date);

Just a quick update, to say that MongoDate has a toDateTime method since the version 1.6 of the pecl extension. You can now do

$mongoDate->toDateTime()->format(...)
