    Try:

    <?php
    $effdate = date('m/j/Y', preg_replace('/[^\d]/','', $r['effdate'])/1000);    
    echo '<td>'.$effdate.'</td>';
?>

    I am removing all the non digits.

    preg_replace('/[^\d]/','', $r['effdate'])

    Dividing it by 1000 as epoch times in JavaScript is x 1000.

    /1000

    Then I return the formatted date.

    date('m/j/Y', ...
