date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('25-02-2015 11:10'));

You need to use dashes instead of the slashes.

Of course you can replace the 25-02-2015 11:10 with the variable holding the datetime value. If you found this helpful, don't forget to mark this as an answer. – Hazem Taha Feb 25 '15 at 13:34
try what you say puts me 1970-01-01 00:00:00 – Fabián Feb 25 '15 at 15:30
you need to replace '/' with '-' first. – Hazem Taha Feb 26 '15 at 09:12
