I want to convert date format from 'Wed, 27 01 2016 00:00:00 EST' to '2016-01-27'.I got wrong value '1970-01-01'
<?php
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Helsinki");
$var='Wed, 25 11 2015 00:00:00 GMT';
echo $d=date('Y-m-d',strtotime($var));
//DATE_RFC2822
?>
It means the datetime string cannot be recognised automatically. You need to specify format of input:
echo date_create_from_format(
'D, d m Y H:i:s e', // <== input format
'Wed, 27 01 2016 00:00:00 EST' // <== your string
)->format("Y-m-d") // <== output format
More formats here: http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php
