Convert datepicker to mysql datetime format in PHP

Question

Is there a way to convert a date in this format: 08/19/2014 1:45 pm

in MySQL datetime format such as 2014-08-19 13:45:00.

I tried using something like

date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $myTime);

but I don't think it likes "pm" and it returns 1969-12-31 giving an error:

"Incorrectly formed numeric value"

This works for dd / mm / yyyy

$date = '18/03/2016 16:25';
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime(str_replace('/','-',$date)));

=> 2016-03-18 16:25:00

Have you tried using strtotime()

?

$myTime = strtotime("08/19/2014 1:45 pm"); 
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $myTime);

Output :

2014-08-19 13:45:00
