Correct way of converting DateTime string in timestamp

Question

Which is correct way of converting datetime string in format like '2014-12-06 07:45' in timestamp ?
I make like

date( "Y-m-d H:i", '2014-12-06 07:45' );

but time is zero...

please search this site repository before posting this kind of repeatative questions. — Vaisakh Pc, Dec 05 '14 at 11:43
You get zero cause the second argument should be timestamp (integer), not a string. Please, check http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php and try to view every relevant function on the right part of that page. — loshad vtapkah, Dec 05 '14 at 11:47

Flexible format way:

$date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', '2014-12-06 07:45');

echo $date->getTimestamp();
