bravo14 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi I am using a datetimepicker in bootstrap and the date format being displayed is dd/mm/yyyy H:i I need it converted to yyyy-mm-dd H:i The code I am using is $newsdate = strtotime($_POST['txtDate']); $news_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $newsdate); However on date like to day 10th April which I would have as 10/04/2017 the code is converting that to 2017-10-04 instead of 2017-04-10 How can I get the dates converted correctly?

Jacques1 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 strtotime() cannot read your mind. It will make an educated guess about how to interpret the input date based on a few standard formats, but dd/mm/yyyy isn't one of those formats. So if you want to make sure that the input is interpreted correctly, you need to explicitly specify the format. DateTime::createFromFormat() supports that.
