[PHP-DB] Date formats from Postgres

[Sean Weissensee]

I am reading a data datatype from a PostgreSQL database,

the format sohwing  is 2001-01-05 for the 1st of May this year,

I need this date in Australian format i.e. 01/05/2001,

I tried using the string date (string format [, int timestamp])

but with no success.I am not sure how to convert the database variable into
a timestamp.

any suggestions ?
