Question

I know how to change date to readable format in php like below

$jobpostdate = date("Y-m-d", '1434460015');

how can I do same thing with JavaScript If I have this UNIX timestamp value 1434460015 or any other UNIX timestamp value value like this , I have to do this within ajax success function, what can be the syntax?

*"or any other value like this"* What exactly is "this"? A UNIX timestamp? — Felix Kling, Jun 20 '15 at 07:58

Simple use

 new Date(1434460015000) //If it's in second convert it into millisecond by *1000

For format it you need to do it in manual way

    var today=new Date(1434460015000);
     var dd = today.getDate();
        var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
    
        var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
        if(dd<10){
            dd='0'+dd
        } 
        if(mm<10){
            mm='0'+mm
        }
     
    var today = dd+'/'+mm+'/'+yyyy;
alert(today);

why we check this `if(dd<10)` here? – Durga Jun 20 '15 at 08:37
just to make it two digit :) so 9 turns to 09 :) – squiroid Jun 20 '15 at 09:25
