PHP strtotime problems with minutes [closed]

Answer 1

Your "minutes" are actually "months". Use i as your date code:

echo date("Y-m-d h:i:s a", strtotime('2012-03-18 12:55:00'))

Answer 2

In PHP's date function, the code for minutes is i not m:

echo date("Y-m-d h:i:s a", strtotime('2012-03-18 12:55:00'))

Answer 3

Your date string format should be :

Y-m-d h:i:s a

PHP's documentation has this to say about formatting a local time/date -

• i - Minutes with leading zeros
• m - Numeric representation of a month, with leading zeros

What you were seeing as 03 was actually the month - March :)

Answer 4

That's because m in the date function represents months, not minutes. For minutes, you want to use i:

Y-m-d h:i:s a
