PHP - Timestamp Conversion Issue

Question

I'm trying to convert a timestamp that's stored in a database from the MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS format to DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS format but I'm getting an error

"PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object"

Here's my code:

date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
 $clientTimestamp = '10/25/2015 21:22:47';
 $date = DateTime::createFromFormat("m/d/Y h:i:s", $clientTimestamp );
 $clientTimestampAU = $date->format("d/m/Y h:i:s");

I'm getting the error on the last line - I can't work out what the issue is here.

m/d/Y H:i:s and d/m/Y H:i:s.... upper-case H for 24-hr clock — Mark Baker

The hour parameter is H and not h

So, instead of

date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
$clientTimestamp = '10/25/2015 21:22:47';
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("m/d/Y h:i:s", $clientTimestamp );
$clientTimestampAU = $date->format("d/m/Y h:i:s");

Make it

date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
$clientTimestamp = '10/25/2015 21:22:47';
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("m/d/Y H:i:s", $clientTimestamp );
$clientTimestampAU = $date->format("d/m/Y H:i:s");
