I get the date of this format

string(10) "19 05 2016"

I need to convert it to unix format so I try

 var_dump(strtotime($post["Serial"]["dataseria"]))

getting

 bool(false)

why not tell me? And how to correct.

    Apparently, your date does not match the format expected by the strtotime function. I think it is necessary to specify the format explicitly. For example:

     $date = \DateTime::createFromFormat('dm Y', '19 05 2016'); echo($date->getTimestamp());
