1And your problem is that PHP treats `/` separator as US format? Either convert the `/` to a `-`; or use [DateTime::createFromFormat()](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php) – Mark Baker Nov 03 '17 at 12:26

php -r "var_dump(date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('01/02/2016 0:00:00')));"
string(19) "2016-01-02 00:00:00"
Just make strtotime($var);

Input format is `dd/mm/aaaa 0:00:00`, not `mm/dd/aaaa 0:00:00`, so this will break dates.... read the question – Mark Baker Nov 03 '17 at 12:35
