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);
         


        

Answer 1

First, create date from millisecond using given function:

public function showdatefn($mili)
{   
    $seconds = (string)$mili / 1000;
    return date("d-m-Y", $seconds); 
}   
$date =$this->showdatefn();

This will give you correct date.
