People Today I use a very simple way to convert dates from BD (American standard) to PT-BR.

The way I use it is like this:

$data_BD = "2016-07-27";

// Cria nome das variaveis
$ano = substr($data_BD,0,-6);
$mes = substr($data_BD,5,-3);
$dia = substr($data_BD,8);


$data = "$dia/$mes/$ano";

Well my question is, does PHP have any native function to perform this formatting? Because I have to convert both the dates of the BD to the user and the ones that the user informs on input to save in the comic.

You can use the function strtotime and date:

$data_BD = "2016-07-27";
$data = date("d/m/Y", strtotime($data_BD));

echo $data; // 27/07/2016

If you prefer to use DateTime:

$data_BD = "2016-07-27";

$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $data_BD);
$data = $dt->format('d/m/Y');

echo $data; // 27/07/2016
