PHP date & strtotime adding 12 minutes?

Question

This code:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Stockholm');
$time = date('H:m', strtotime('08:00:00'));
echo $time;

Echoes 08:12... why? what am I missing here?

Tried also online at http://writecodeonline.com/php/ with exact this code and got same result. I would expect a error in hours, in case I made something wrong, but 12 minutes seems very strange.

The 08:00:00 value is a example from my database, all times are stored as TIME.

Answer 1

In date format 'm' means month, not minutes. Try to use 'i'. For example:

$time = date('H:i', strtotime('08:00:00'));
