Use strtotime to convert it into a UNIX time stamp.

Example:

$time = strtotime('Tue, 12 Jul 2016 07:44:24 GMT');
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $time);

Make sure you also set your default timezone if you haven't done so at server level:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

Your string Tue, 12 Jul 2016 07:44:24 GMT is actually a RFC 2822 formatted date. You can input run this string via strtotime() or DateTime, and then format as you wish.

If you wish to format back to RFC 2822 formated date, use r as format character, see date() function.
