I want to convert the php date to timestamp. But i'm getting same output even I change the date in my URL.
Example: Imagine that I have URL that will get the value.
url: localhost/index.php?text_checkin=22/06/2018
$checkin = strtotime($_GET['text_checkin']);
$textin = date('y/m/d', $checkin);
echo $textin;
OUTPUT: 70/01/01
Please help me out of this problem.
Use date_create_from_format instead
working demo : https://eval.in/1018426
$checkin = $_GET['text_checkin'];
$dateObj = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y',$checkin);
echo date_format($dateObj,'Y/m/d');
Output
2018/06/22
For more : http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php
$mCheckIn = $_GET['text_checkin'];//getting the check in date
$mDateObj = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y',$mCheckIn);//creating a date object.
echo date_format($mDateObj,'Y/m/d');//echo or store the results in a variable
Output:
2018/06/22
Try that
If you know the format will always be the same then you can replace the / with - which will make it a valid format for strtotime.
$checkin = strtotime(str_replace("/","-","22/06/2018"));
$textin = date('y/m/d', $checkin);
echo $textin;
This is probably lighter than calling date_create_from_format.
The flip side is that date_create_from_format will only work on this specific format.
If the format is Y-m-d this code will work too but date_create_from_format will not.
