Having trouble with strftime and mktime in php pdo

Question

I have here:

<td><?php print strftime("%d %b. %Y %I:%M %p",mktime($row['c_date'])); ?></td>

and the output is

Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in C:\xampp\htdocs\PDO\My-Sample\class.crud.php on line 180

Answer 1

Second argument of strftime is timestamp, and you are passing a string. Use strtotime($row['c_date']) function in the second argument and all will be good.

Following are the arguments of strftime from the php docs.

string strftime ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )

Hence this will work

<td><?php if (isset($row['c_date'])) {
    print strftime("%d %b. %Y %I:%M %p",strtotime($row['c_date'])); 
} ?></td>
