I want to convert date from, for example, 1441065600 to YYYYMMDD format. How do I do that?
$temp = date("Y-m-d",1441065600);
$rel_date = date_format( $temp, "YYYYMMDD");
The code above gives an error:
date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTimeInterface

Answer 1

Using date()
Simply write:
<?php
echo date('Ymd', 1441065600);
Otherwise, using a DateTime instance:
Short
<?php
echo (new DateTime())->setTimestamp(1441065600)->format('Ymd');
Note: the setTimestamp() method do not takes a string as parameter! Otherwise, you may want to do so:
Long
<?php
$english = '1441065600';
$timestamp = strtotime($english);
$date = new DateTime($timestamp);
echo $date->format('Ymd'); // 20161214
Descriptions
strtotime() - Parse about any English textual datetime description into a Unix timestamp
DateTime - Representation of date and time
Note: I created a new DateTime instance from the UNIX timestamp, English textual representation may lead to an error.
Other formats
I recommend you to read the DateTime::format() method documentation along with the date() function documentation to learn more about date formats.

Answer 2

$date = (new DateTime())->setTimestamp(1441065600);
echo $date->format('Ymd');

Answer 3

date_format is function in which first argument should be DateTime object, date function return string.
So first You need to create correct object.
$date = new DateTime(strtotime(1441065600));
and then format it with date_format
echo date_format($date,'Ydm');

Answer 4

You can pass the timestamp to the DateTime constructor by prepending # character:
$d = new DateTime('#1441065600');
echo $d->format("Ymd");
See Compound Formats.
