PHP strtotime with output from Bootstrap DatePicker

Bootstrap time picker gives me Date in this format:

Mon Mar 16 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)

I would like to use it as a Date object in PHP.

I am attempting to use it like:

date("Y-m-d H:i:s" , strtotime("Mon Mar 16 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)"));

But that results in:

1969-12-31 18:00:00

Which I understand to be pretty close to EPOCH.

I'm thinking I'm either using the wrong function, or I formatted date() wrong.

I am using the TimePicker from here.

strtotime only works on certain formats of which can be found here http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php

Mar 16 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0500

The above portion should return the right time value for you. Either change the way that the picker is outputting the date, without knowing which picker I will assume its this one http://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.org/en/latest/options.html#format or do some string manipulation on the current date format from the picker (the first option would be simpler and easier to read).
