Today I want to transfrom date into different format using jQuery/Javascript :
$date = '2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z'
$cool = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date));
How can I do that (PHP) in jQuery/Javascript ?
Thanks!

Use the javascript date object.
<script>
var date = new Date('2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z');
var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth();
var year = date.getFullYear();
document.write(year + '-' + month + '-' + day);
</script>

It's worth noting that .getMonth returns a zero based version of the month (January=0, February=1, December=11, etc). You should probably add one to the month if you are planning on returning a correct date this way:
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;You need a date in such format for javascript Sun, 01 Sep 13 08:06:57 +0000
So in PHP you need to do something like this
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Perth');
echo date('D, d M y H:i:s')." +0000";
And you can experiment with jQuery to check it
$.get('dateformat.php', function(data) {
date = new Date(data);
console.log(date);
});
Then you could format a date as you wish
Example for formatting date object on your own:
$.date = function(dateObj) {
var d = new Date(dateObj);
var day = d.getDate();
var month = d.getMonth() + 1;
var year = d.getFullYear();
if (month < 10) {
month = "0" + month;
}
return year + "." + month + "." + day;
};
A jquery plugin to help you format a date similar to php
https://github.com/phstc/jquery-dateFormat
You can use it to apply a format like this
$.format.date("2009-12-18 10:54:50.546", "Test: dd/MM/yyyy")
I think that's it.

Why would you say you need that format for JavaScript? That's just not true. JavaScript supports a lot of different date formats natively. Here are some examples
Davit
Op indicated he wanted to use something like 'Y-m-d' that's why I referred to a plugin, otherwise I wrote an example how to do it by hand

I was referring to the first sentence of your answer.

@Dachi, I am trying to format date with jquery date format plugin but not succeeded. Can you please give me an example with jsfiddle link using github.com/phstc/jquery-dateFormat plugin.

@Dachi, Thank you very much for sparing your busy time. Is it possible to insert any static text in time format. I am looking for a date format like Nov 15th @ 05a.m. I want 'th' after day of the month. How can i achieve this? I am using date format $.format.date("2013-11-15 05:44:30.516", "MMM d @ hhp")

If you're aiming for newer browsers, then you can parse it directly in JavaScript like fujy or LeGrande showed. But when you do, understand that the UTC date you passed will be converted to the local time zone of the browser.
If you want more flexibility, and full browser compatibility, then you should use a library like moment.js.
// Parse it to a moment
var m = moment("2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z");
// Format it in local time in whatever format you want
var s = m.format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
// Or treat it as UTC and then format it
var s = m.utc().format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")

JavaScript is smart enough to accept dates in different format
var d1 = new Date('2013-04-01T19:45:11.000Z');

Well, most modern browsers are anyway.
