How to change data format in custom meta box field [closed]

Question

EDIT

You should be using date_create_from_format or its alias DateTime::createFromFormat() to convert on format to another. You can try the following

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('m-d-Y', '03-09-2015');
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');

This will convert 03-09-2015 to 09-03-2015

ORIGINAL ANSWER

This is more a PHP question than WordPress question. You can simply use str_replace to change the / in your date to -. You are not changing the format, so no need for date_format or any other date related functions

You can try something like

$date="03/09/2015";
$modified_date = str_replace( "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/", '-', $date );
echo $modified_date;

This will output 03-09-2015
