How to generate custom date time from Unix timestamp using PHP?

Question

How do I convert a Unix timestamp to the following custom date format: '28-Jan-2017'? Below is my attempt.

$unixT = 1532728800;

$date = new DateTime();
$date -> setTimestamp($unixT);
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');

With above I get '28-07-2017'.

@LLya Bursov, thanks for your help man. If you put it down as an answer I can set it as the solution — tim, Aug 08 '17 at 16:20
`DateTime::format()` uses the same formats as `date()` - so have a look at the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php — Qirel, Aug 08 '17 at 16:21

Please use capital (M) instead of small (m).

echo $date->format('d-M-Y');
