Date/Time Object from JSON to PHP Foreach Loop

Question

I have a tried numerous examples on stack already and I cant seem to get this right! I am trying to pull the date from this DateTime Object also the reason for the two lines of time was because I was trying different methods and compare the return.

[created] => DateTime Object
                (
                    [date] => 2019-06-06 15:22:25.720000
                    [timezone_type] => 1
                    [timezone] => +00:00
                )

but for some reason i'm getting the completely wrong date and time.

19-09-04 22:37:18
1970-01-01 01:00:00

19-09-04 22:37:18
1970-01-01 01:00:00

19-09-04 22:37:18
1970-01-01 01:00:00

19-09-04 22:37:18
1970-01-01 01:00:00

I've tried the following: JSON Array to PHP DateTime PHP date time from string Arrays - foreach brings ->Fatal error: Cannot use object of type

PHP CODE:

<?php 
    $vPaccomments = $issue->fields->comment->comments;

    foreach ($vPaccomments as $vPaccomment) {
        $vPacAvatarUrl = $vPaccomment->author->avatarUrls;
        $size16 = "16x16";
        $vPacCreated = $vPaccomment->created;
        $vPacDate = $vPacCreated->date;
        $vPacDateConv = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($vPacDate));

        $dateTime = new DateTime($vPacDate);
        echo $dateTime->format('y-m-d H:i:s');

        echo '<pre>'; print_r($vPacDateConv);

        echo "<div class=\"col\">";
        //echo "<img width=\"16px\" src=\"" . $vPacAvatarUrl[$size16] . "\"> " . "<font color=\"#0015ff\">" .$vPaccomment->author->displayName ."</font> added a comment - " . date_format($vPacCreateDate, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');    
        echo "<br>";
        echo "<hr>";
        echo "</div>";
    }

?>

If I echo '<pre>'; print_r($vPacCreated);

I get the correct results i want to grab

DateTime Object
(
    [date] => 2019-06-06 15:22:25.720000
    [timezone_type] => 1
    [timezone] => +00:00
)

DateTime Object
(
    [date] => 2019-06-07 13:58:31.970000
    [timezone_type] => 1
    [timezone] => +00:00
)

DateTime Object
(
    [date] => 2019-06-17 14:07:23.040000
    [timezone_type] => 1
    [timezone] => +00:00
)

DateTime Object
(
    [date] => 2019-06-17 14:25:13.840000
    [timezone_type] => 1
    [timezone] => +00:00
)

Here is the portion of the values:

It seems from your question that `$vPacCreated` is already a `DateTime` object, so you should be able to just `echo $vPacCreated->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');` — Nick, Sep 04 '19 at 21:49
You get dates like this `1970-01-01` when there is an error in the date you are trying to set — RiggsFolly, Sep 04 '19 at 21:50

Judging from your input data, it looks like $vPacCreated is already a DateTime object, so you should be able to just

echo $vPacCreated->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
