Many questions on formatting dates, you should find what you are looking for by searching.

Here a quicky:

echo date("d/m/Y H:i", strtotime($sOriginalformat));

You could use the function strtotime(). Have a look at the Manual.

strtotime("Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:31:20 +0000");

You can use strtotime. If you might ever want to do more complex things, have a look at the DateTime class. It is powerful and intuitive -- I think it's more transparent than mucking around with the timestamp yourself.

$dt = new DateTime($sOriginalFormat);
$sNewFormat = $dt->format("d/m/Y H:i");
