Php Date Conversion change

Question

When I try to insert date like 20-jan-50 by changing

date("d-m-Y", strtotime($date))

It stores like 20-01-2050. But the actual date was 20-01-1950. After 1980 stores perfect.Like 20-jan-89 was stored as 20-01-1989.

Answer 1

You need to check Docs. It is clearly noted within that if number of year is specified in a two digit format, the values between 00-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999

Note: If the number of the year is specified in a two digit format, the values between 00-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999. See the notes below for possible differences on 32bit systems (possible dates might end on 2038-01-19 03:14:07).

Answer 2

Answer 3

you date format is not compatible with strtotime you must use: Year, month and day:

$date = '2050-01-20';
date("Y-m-d", strtotime($date));
