date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$date = strtotime('2010-02-19T17:23:53-05:00');
echo date('r', $date);

 

You'll want to look at the manual page for the date function to figure out what your desired date string is.  I used 'r' because it was simple and close, but you can construct any date format you desire.  In some cases, you need to set default_timezone_set(), so you should set that relative to your server.
