Yes there is.
You can replace the "-" and make a valid timestamp which you can then format as you like.

    $dateStr = "January-01-1980";
$timestamp = strtotime(str_replace("-", " ",$dateStr));
echo date("d-m-y", $timestamp); 

I don't know if you want to get a date with the day ot with the month at the first place. If you want the month at first place use this:

echo date("m-d-y", $timestamp); 

Saludo
