PHP Timestamp from array

Question

I have timestamps in array like this: 20221206235959

If I do this:

$start_time = $book->booking_start;
echo (date('F j, Y',$start_time));

Result is: July 1, 642735

How can I change it to something like this: 06.12.2022 23:59:59 ?

Timestamp is just a generic word for time. `date()` expects a **Unix time**, but you just have YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS without separators. — Álvaro González, May 27 '22 at 12:59
Hint: `echo DateTime::createFromFormat('YmdHis', $start_time)->format("d.m.Y H:i:s");` — Zhorov, May 27 '22 at 13:03

I think you need to parse and format the input datetime value:

<?php
$start_time = '20221206235959';
echo DateTime::createFromFormat('YmdHis', $start_time)->format("d.m.Y H:i:s");
?>

Result:

06.12.2022 23:59:59
