There's a lot of moving parts in [the documentation](http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php). Does anyone here actually know how to do it? — Robert Harvey, Jul 12 '14 at 05:13

You could use strftime and strtotime functions like this:

strftime("%Y-%m-%d", strtotime("Sun Jul 13 2014 00:30:00 GMT+0530"))
