PHP Timestamp into DateTime

Do you know how I can convert this to a strtotime, or a similar type of value to pass into the DateTime object?

The date I have:

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:17:52 +0000

What I've tried:

$time = substr($item->pubDate, -14);
$date = substr($item->pubDate, 0, strlen($time));

$dtm = new DateTime(strtotime($time));
$dtm->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone(ADMIN_TIMEZONE));
$date = $dtm->format('D, M dS');
$time = $dtm->format('g:i a');

The above is not correct. If I loop through a lot of different dates its all the same date.

time-format date-format date datetime php

it is my solution:

    function changeDateTimezone($date, $from='UTC', $to='Asia/Tehran', $targetFormat="Y-m-d H:i:s")
    {
        $date = new DateTime($date, new DateTimeZone($from));
        $date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone($to));
        return $date->format($targetFormat);
    }
