Hi I've just started learning about timestamp with an absolute template. In one of the examples it says $date1 = strtotime('2015-06-01'); will output Mon 08/01/2015 but I only get a number 1433113200. What am I doing wrong.
$date1 = strtotime('2015-06-01');
echo $date1;
Try like this, the number you get is the unix time stamp of your date. You need to reformat it.
$date1 = date('D d/m/Y h:i:s A',strtotime('2015-06-01'));
echo $date1;
Here's a list of format that you can use (Source)

you should pass the date to strtotime function with this format: dd-mm-YY, so your code should be:
$date1 = strtotime('01-06-2015');
echo $date1;
just have the exact place location of the area you wanted to grab
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Hong_Kong");
$treg = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$treg will be exact
but to convert the time to a specific format use
$date1 = strtotime('2015-06-01');
$treg = date("D Y-m-d", strtotime($date1));
$date1 = date("D d/m/Y", strtotime('2015-06-01'));
echo $date1;
You can check the date format at http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
if you want output in this format Mon 08/01/2015.This is what you need to do
echo date('D m/d/Y',strtotime('2015-06-01'));
Refer:date php
