DateTime::createFromFormat() returns wrong date

I'm using (\DateTime::createFromFormat() to parse a date.

In "25/03/2017 10:43"

Out "2020-07-25 10:00:00.000000"

Code

dd(\DateTime::createFromFormat("d/m/Y H:m", Request::get('start')));

The date is formed as follows: "dd/mm/yyyy". As you can see it's 3 years, 4 months, and 43 minutes off. The days and hours work fine though.

Change your date format to 

DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', '25/03/2017 10:43')

Note the i: it means minutes. m means months. See documentation.

The format character for minutes is i and not m.

dd(\DateTime::createFromFormat("d/m/Y H:i", Request::get('start')));
