How to convert datetime in string format into proper date & time format in PHP CodeIgniter?

Question

I got a JSON response of date and time in string format, and I want it to convert into proper date and time. I'm using a API to get a response and that comes in JSON code, but while it is in string form. How can I convert it into Proper Date and Time.

I got following response:

"start_time": 1492841592,
"end_time": 1492841619,
"seconds": 22392,
"duration": "00:00:27",
"_drm": 0.45,

And I want output in :

01:10pm 16 Mar

This format.

To convert it I'm trying to use date() function from PHP. But it wont give me proper result. I'm referred following question:

Are you looking for something like this?

$json = <<<'JSON'
{
  "start_time": 1492841592,
  "end_time": 1492841619,
  "seconds": 22392,
  "duration": "00:00:27",
  "_drm": 0.45
}
JSON;

$dt = json_decode($json);

echo date('h:ia M j', $dt->start_time);

Output:

06:13am Apr 22
