Get php date and use it in javascript with date()

Question

I've noticed that in JavaScript, when creating a Date, months are zero based.

So I input (from a mysql php call) a value like "2019, 1, 1". I get this value via:

date("Y, m, d",strtotime($mysqlcall['recorded']))

So input that value:

var foo = new Date(2019, 1, 1)

but it produces February 1st 2019. How can I fix that problem?

how can I do that? And is it possible to directly change the String in php? Maybe substract -1 from "m"? — hillcode

Use the DateTime class:

<?php

$date = new DateTime('2020-01-01 00:00:00'); // Happy new year!
$month = $date->format('m') - 1;

echo $date->format('Y-' . $month . '-d H:i:s');
