How do I transform, for example, a string "11092018" in "11-09-2018"?
Is there a function I can use?

Has many ways.
Using the function substr
$formatada = substr($string,0,2).'-'.substr($string,2,2).'-'.substr($string,4,4);
See working on IDEONE.
Handbook:
Using the function substr_replace
$formatada = substr_replace(substr_replace($string,'-',4,0),'-',2,0);
See working on IDEONE.

Using the function date_parse_from_format
$data = date_parse_from_format('dmY', '11092018');
$data['month'] = str_pad($data['month'], 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
$data['day'] = str_pad($data['day'], 2, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT);
$formatada = "{$data['day']}-{$data['month']}-{$data['year']}";
See working on IDEONE.
Handbook:

Using the class DateTime::createFromFormat
$data = DateTime::createFromFormat('dmY', '11092018');
$formatada = $data->format('d-m-Y');
See working on IDEONE.
Handbook:
Using the function preg_match
if (preg_match('/(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})/', '11092018', $matches)) {
echo "{$matches[1]}-{$matches[2]}-{$matches[3]}";
}

I don’t think it applies to what I said, but I would have deleted it anyway. If I had posted directed to someone, it still will. Too bad I can’t restore the comment, or I’d even put it back in the community evaluate, because in my understanding, there was no sarcasm. There are 2 negative votes that may have been user tantrum or PHP ignorance (which is very common here). And I invited to suggest improvements. But the vote is free and I am the first to defend it. Note that I never said the person should review the vote, as many users do.

It’s the least I expect from those who will vote, after all, the question is PHP right? If you are going to vote because you are a friend of this or that user, then it is not a valid criterion (despite having a lot that seems to be club, it is up to moderation to check). Noting that my comments were made considering that there are 5 negatives in 3 responses, it was not the fact that they gave a -1 in my reply. You may have a real reason, but you’re a little off the mark.
