How can I get the corret date using the function strtotime in php?

Question

I have this function in php:

private function setInfoTareasDiarias($aDataTarea,$idUsu,$seccion){ 

        print_r($aDataTarea['fecha']);
        $date=date("Y/m/d 00:00:00", strtotime($aDataTarea['fecha']));
        $aData['porcentaje']=$aDataTarea['porcentaje'];
        $aData['fecha_termino']=$date;
        $aData['descripcion']=$aDataTarea['descripcion'];
        $aData['id_tarea']=$aDataTarea["idTarea"];
        $aData['id_seccion']=$seccion;

        $this->aDatosInfoTareasDiarias[]=$aData;

        print_r($this->aDatosInfoTareasDiarias);
    }

print_r($aDataTarea['fecha']); print this format:

example: 2015/06/9

With $date=date("Y/m/d 00:00:00", strtotime($aDataTarea['fecha']));

and

$aData['fecha_termino']=$date;

I need print :

[fecha_termino] => 2015/06/09 00:00:00

But print:

[fecha_termino] => 1969/12/31 00:00:00

(I need always 00:00:00)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You need to specify hours, minutes and seconds as H:i:s, like this:

$date = date("Y/m/d H:i:s", strtotime($aDataTarea['fecha'], mktime(0, 0, 0)));

The reason you are getting 1969/12/31 00:00:00 as the result is because this is the default unix timestamp, which basically means there is an error when you try to generate a date from your given timestamp. Try the H:i:s format shown above and this should work for you now.
