Format date in php

          <?php echo xlt($row['prauth1_sd']); ?>

The field praut1_sd is a date that is formatted YYYY-DD-MM
How can I format the output field as MM-DD-yy? Or should I do it before the echo?

This is for output on a report.

            $newDate = substr($date, 5, 2) . '/' . substr($date, 8, 2);
        } elseif ($GLOBALS['date_display_format'] == 2) { // dd/mm/yyyy, note year is added below
