To set new value in your input type box.

You must use:

date('Y-m-d\TH:i', strtotime($exampleDate)) //2019-08-18T00:00

Solution Example:

$exampleDate = "2019-08-18 00:00:00";//sql timestamp
$exampleDate = strtotime($exampleDate);
$newDate = date('Y-m-d\TH:i', $exampleDate);

or

$exampleDate = "2019-08-18 00:00:00";//sql timestamp
$newDate = date('Y-m-d\TH:i', strtotime($exampleDate));

If you dont use strtotime() you will get an error of

Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered
