yyyy-mm-dd format with strtotime returning wrong result

$originalDate1 = '2013-12-30';

echo $newDate = date("o-m-d", strtotime($originalDate1));

Displaying 2014 instead of 2013

use Y-m-d instead of o-m-d

$originalDate1 = '2013-12-30';

echo $newDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($originalDate1)); // will output 2014-12-30

The problem is the "o"

ISO-8601 year number. This has the same value as Y, except that if the ISO week number (W) belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead. (added in PHP 5.1.0)

You should use "Y" instead.
