    PHP has the function date_formatfor it, which is an alias of DateTime::format

    As for the format dd/MM/YYYY , in PHP it would be expressed like this: "d/m/Y", where:

    • d: Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros

    • m: Numerical representation of a month, with leading zeros

    • Y: A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits

    Code example:

    $str='2017-09-02T00:00:00.000Z';
$formato = 'd/m/Y'; 
$fecha=date_format(date_create($str), $formato);
echo $fecha;

    Or... if you want it on one line:

    echo date_format(date_create('2017-09-02T00:00:00.000Z'), 'd/m/Y');

    Result:

    02/09/2017

    Or... if you're into Object Oriented Programming (OOP), you create a date object from your string using the DateTime class :

    $str='2017-09-02T00:00:00.000Z';
$formato = 'd/m/Y'; 
$oFecha = new DateTime($str); //Aquí se crea un objeto fecha a partir de la cadena
$fecha= $oFecha->format($formato); //Aquí extraes la fecha según el formato y puedes seguir usando $oFecha para otras cosas si lo necesitas
echo $fecha;
