Convert not valid date format to another in PHP

Question

I have a date in Oracle format:

22-JAN 07

And i would like to convert it to something like this:

22/01

The problem is, i can not use the date function as the string I am trying to convert doesn't match any valid date format.

I was trying it like this:

date('d/m', strtotime($row['BOOKED_DATE_FROM_1']))

But that shows:

01/01 

How could i deal with this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Confirmed working

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d-M y', '22-JAN 07');
echo $date->format('d/m');
