How to change date format dmYhis to Y-m-d in PHP. I have using the date() function but I cannot seem to make it work

   $d = '24032017191551';

   echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($d));

Output: 1970-01-01

i want to get the ans is 2017-03-24

This is not correct duplicate! He is going above the 32 bit limit of strtotime(). See here https://3v4l.org/UHWTB — Andreas, May 26 '17 at 05:08
@HankyPanky ? Reopen and let me answer the question. None of the answers on the page you link to is correct for this question — Andreas, May 26 '17 at 05:17
That suggestion is not the correct answer. There is no 32 bit limit in action here. You're assuming that they are proving a Unix timestamp, they are not. Its an improperly formatted datetime. '24032017191551' => `24-03-2017 19:15:51`. That Fiddle is misguided. — Hanky Panky, May 26 '17 at 06:18

Below is the code to change date format

      $retrieved ='24032017191551';
      $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('dmYHis', $retrieved);
      echo $date->format('Y-m-d');

@AparnaPM..can u tell me the format of the date u are entering.. – Pradeep May 26 '17 at 05:18
date('dmYhis') format – Aparna P M May 26 '17 at 05:26
Your answer is not correct, you just changed the input to fit the date he wants. I usually don't downvote but this is really bad. – Andreas May 26 '17 at 05:56
@Andreas...she has not mentioned that she requires hour as well as minutes....then its not a problem... – Pradeep May 26 '17 at 05:59
@Andreas..if u have better suggestion then please post it'll improve my programming skill also... – Pradeep May 26 '17 at 06:01
@Pradeep I'm not talking about the output. I'm talking about you substr(..., 0, 8). You take the value and just delete the last 6 digits to make it correct. I have written what is the issue with this question above in comments but since HankyPanky closed the question I can not post an answer to the question. – Andreas May 26 '17 at 06:03
