I have this date (year and month) 201511
and I need to show in this format: 112015
(month and year).
I've tried this: date('m/Y', strtotime($date))
, but does not work.

You have to read in the format you have and do that properly. date('m/Y')
is not the format you feed into that function.
Read http://php.net/manual/datetime.createfromformat.php
or http://php.net/manual/function.date.php if you really have to use date()
.
m and n | Numeric representation of a month, with or without leading zeros | 01 through 12 or 1 through 12
Y | A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits | Examples: 1999 or 2003
$dateStringOldFormat = '201511';
$dateStringNewFormat = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ym', $dateStringOldFormat)->format('mY');
