problem in getting desired date format in loop

Question

Hi there, I have a date format like this :

  $date1 = "Sun May 09 20:07:50 +0000 2010";

and I have to convert it to: 09-05-2010

I am echoing it with echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($date1));

When I print this individually it gives proper result but I am using it in loop it gives me results like: 31-12-1969

The loop i am using is :

foreach($userinfo as $k=>$v)
{
if($k == 'test')
 {
    foreach($v as $k1=>$v1)
    {
      echo $v1."<br>";
      //echo strtotime($v1)."<br>";
      //echo $date = date("d-m-Y", strtotime($v1));
    }
 }
}

Guys when I echo $v1 it gives me:Sun May 09 20:07:50 +0000 2010 Also when I echo strtotime($v1); it gives blank. However funny thing is I am getting this conversion perfectly in 1D loop.

Can you help, please?

Answer 1

echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($date1)) ;

Answer 2

Is $date1 = "Sun May 09 20:07:50 +0000 2010"; outside the loop? If it is, make sure you only change it with strtotime and date once.

Answer 3

First, you could simplify by writing :

foreach ($userinfo['test'] as $k => $v) {
    foreach ($v as $k1 => $v1) {
        echo date("d-m-Y", strtotime($v1));
    }   
}

The second strtotime() argument is not useful for you, it is in case you use the function to make operations on timestamps, like :

echo strtotime("-1 day", mktime(...));

Just do print_r($userinfo['test']) to see what's really inside.
