Convert from one date format to another in PHP

Question

Here's my code:

echo $startdate1 = $_POST['registration_opens_date'];
echo $enddate1   = $_POST['registration_ends_date'];

How to convert date format from January 1, 2014 11:15 PM to 2014-01-01 23:15:00.

`echo date_create('January 1, 2014 11:15 PM')->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');` — Amal Murali, Jan 28 '14 at 13:21

try this

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($_POST['registration_opens_date']));
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($_POST['registration_ends_date']));

Minor nitpick: `H` is the 24-hour format, and `h` is the 12-hour format. The OP seems to want the former. – Amal Murali Jan 28 '14 at 13:31

Try this:

echo date_format(date_create($startdate1), 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

Here is an exemple of what you want

<?php
 echo $test="January 1, 2014 11:15";
 $test= date_create($test);
 echo "<br>";
 echo date_format($test,'Y-m-d h:i:s'); 
 ?>
