I simply just want to convert the date in PHP. I am using PHP 7.0.33. It was working fine before but suddenly it started producing a Fatal error
Below is my code.
When I use format() I get
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function format() on boolean
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $dates[$i]);
$date = $date->format("Y-m-d");
Any help will be great!!
DateTime::createFromFormat() returns FALSE in case of error, so the problem is in this function call. Check the value of $dates[$i].
I am trying to create Carbon instance from different $date and $time variables. I am using following code right now.
$user->created_at = \Carbon\Carbon::parse($entry->Date." ".$entry->Time);
But I am getting this error.
In Carbon.php line 547:
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (18/08/2017 10:49:50) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character
I also tried removing $time variable to check if it works with just $date variable or not. But In that case too, I am getting this error:
In Carbon.php line 547:
DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (18/08/2017) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character
I also tried trimming out " using trim() function to make sure that the character that Carbon cannot understand is not ". But it's giving me the same output.
How can I solve this error? I tried to find on the internet and other stack overflow questions and they suggested me to update my Carbon package and I did. But still, it's giving me the same error. I can't figure out what's wrong with the code.
UPDATE: I also tried with strtotime($entry->Date); but still, Same error!
You can use this,
Carbon::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i:s', $entry->Date.' '.$entry->Time);
I hope this will help
Create a timestamp of date and time . After that you can parse them using Carbon
$timestamp = Carbon::createFromTimestamp($entry->Date. $entry->Time);
$dateTime=date('d/m/Y h:i:s',$timestamp);
Carbon::parse($dateTime);
I have been using the following code for a couple of months and it's been working fine, but now seems to have an issue with a certain time or time range.
I have a GPS tracker that sends it's date/time like this:
150102235335
The format is ymdhis
$input_array[6] = 150102235335;
$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('ymdhis', $input_array[6]);
$datetime = $datetime->format('Y-m-d h:i:s');
Using that time, php crashes with the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object
It seems that datetime ends up empty.
However, using the time 150103004933 works just fine.
Can anyone see where I have gone wrong here, or is this a bug?
Is there a better way to accomplish my date conversion?
I am using PHP 5.4.35
h is 12-hour format; and therefore 23 hours is invalid. Only values in the range 00-11 would be valid.
H is 24-hour format
I've just encountered on a problem I never though would exist.
I have a form that submits dates in the following format 04/28/2013 11:00. On the user front-end I'm using jquery datetimepicker and on the backend I have php to process the form.
Doing some testing I found out that DateTime in php does not throw an exception when the time is broken. For example this 04/28/2013 11:00123123 would not trigger an exception - instead DateTime returns now time. In my case the date is not related to now - it's a specific date & time in the future.
In my opinion DateTime should return an exception rather than now time. Is it me, or this is a bug?
Edit:
I'm using php 5.3.23
Posting this as an answer as the comments wouldn't fit for it.
<?php
new DateTime('04/28/2013 11:00123123');
I'm getting:

I'm using PHP5.3.10. And you?
I am going round in circles with this one! I'm doing the following:
Retrieving a date from an MSSQL datetime field via SQL/PHP
Sending the date to a new PHP page via the querystring
Trying to use that date in a new SQL query
I'm hitting problems here.
If I use echo:
echo $_REQUEST['rSessionDate'];
output: 15/10/2012
Which is fine, but when I use it in a SQL query I'm not getting the results I expect, so I thought the best thing to do would be to make sure it's being recognised as a date first.
If I use date_format():
echo date_format($_REQUEST['rSessionDate'],'Y-m-d');
output: Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, string given in ...
If I use strtotime():
echo strtotime($_REQUEST['rSessionDate']);
output: (nothing)
If I use date():
echo date('Y-m-d H:i',$_REQUEST['rSessionDate']);
output: Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in ...
If I use date() with strtotime():
echo date('Y-m-d H:i',strtotime($_REQUEST['rSessionDate']));
output: 1970-01-01 01:00
I'm sure I'm totally missing something simple.
EDIT: I've tried a few new functions I found:
$rSessionDate = new DateTime($_REQUEST['rSessionDate']);
echo $rSessionDate->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
output: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (15/10/2012) at position 0 (1): Unexpected character'
and:
$rSessionDate = date_create($_REQUEST['rSessionDate']);
echo date_format($rSessionDate, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
output: Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, boolean given i
EDIT 2:
I have tried using CAST:
SELECT fCourseCode ,fCourseTitle FROM tCourses WHERE fCourseCode = '4B' AND (ISNULL(fValidStart, 0) <= CAST('2012-10-15 00:00:00' as DATETIME))
But this fails with error "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value"
These might help to shed some light on what you're looking for.

strtotime() is returning an epoch timestamp in your example above.
or check CAST and CONVERT (refers to MSSQL2000 but may still help you)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa226054%28SQL.80%29.aspx
if the date was retrieved from an MSSQL table and you want to use strtotime() in PHP and also don't want to change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd then you can use
CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), DateFromMSSQL, 121) as DateFromMSSQL
