Convert unix timestamp to normal Date in Json

Question

I am using laravel 5.0. I am getting data from controller as json. I am having value like this.

{"timstamp_date":"1434360957"},

I need to convert this unix timestamp value as Normal Date Like (15-06-2015) or (15-March-2015).

I have used Date(timstamp_date) but it is showing current time only. Not my timstamp date

Are you doing this in the controller in php or after you have sent it from the controller in javascript — haakym, Jun 15 '15 at 09:49

You could use:

date("d-m-Y H:i:s", 1434360957);

EDIT You could try;

var dateTime = new Date(1434360957*1000);
var formatted = dateTime.toGMTString();

Use the date function. You need to specify the format as the first parameter:

date("d-m-Y", $timestamp_date)

Laravel also comes with Carbon you could use that if you wanted to for further manipulation of the data if you so required it.

I am not using php I just want to convert timstamp in Json – Praveen Srinivasan Jun 15 '15 at 09:49
You're using javascript then? – haakym Jun 15 '15 at 09:50
If yes, look at wonderb0lt's comment in your question - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/847185/convert-a-unix-timestamp-to-time-in-javascript or you could check out a library like moment.js if you're doing a lot of date manipulation – haakym Jun 15 '15 at 09:52
