Datetime issue when switching site language CakePHP 3

I'm working on a CakePHP 3 application and the problem that I'm having right now is that I'm using the PHP date function to display dates in format like "date month year" (for example: 12 Sept 2018) like so:



date('d M Y', strtotime(my_mysql_datetime));


but the problem is that it works when the website is in english, but when I change the website language to french for example, the datetime format also changes which results in strtotime returning false.



How can I prevent the datetime that I get from my database to change when I switch the website language?

  • Where do you get my_mysql_datetime from? If its from an Entity, my_mysql_datetime should be either a CakeI18nTime or CakeI18nDate object which extends PHP DateTime where you can call ->format() like so my_mysql_datetime->format('d M y')
