Question

I am using DateTime construcor to construct date but it is not parsing, mine code is following

  $current=$timeDate->nowDate(); 

//$timeDate->nowDate() is sugarCRM function returns date and in next line i fetched variables $y, $m, $d successfully 

  list($y, $m, $d) = explode("/", $current);
  $expiredate = new DateTime($y.'-'.$m.'-'.$d);

following error caught in exception

DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string (08-30-2012) at position 0 (0): Unexpected character

Answer 1

The order of the variables ($y, $m, $d) seems to be off, you should write

list($m, $d, $y) = explode("/", $current);
