I have a bit of PHP code:
$exd = date_create('01 Dec, 2015');
$exd = date_format($exd, 'Y-m-d');
echo $exd;
Which is used for formatting the date. The expected output would be 2015-12-01
but it returns 2016-12-01
. What am i missing?
Use createFromFormat
method first, provide the input format:
$exd = DateTime::createFromFormat('d M, Y', '01 Dec, 2015');
// arguments (<format of the input>, <the input itself>)
$exd = date_format($exd, 'Y-m-d'); // then choose whatever format you like
echo $exd;
The date_create()
function accepts only the parameter link, This function is also and alias function of DateTime::__construct()
check the function date_create_from_format()
its also a alias function of DateTime::createFromFormat(). Refer link
$exd = date_create_from_format('j M, Y', '01 Dec, 2015');
//$exd = date_create('01 Dec, 2015');
$exd = date_format($exd, 'Y-m-d');
echo $exd;
