I think that you should use the new PHP DateTime object as it has no issues doing dates beyond the 32 bit restrictions that strtotime   has  Here s an example of how you would get today s date at midnight     today   new DateTime     today- gt setTime 0 0     Or if you re using PHP 5 4 or later you can do it this way    today    new DateTime   - gt setTime 0 0     Then you can use the echo  today- gt format  Y-m-d    to get the format you want your object output as   PHP DateTime Object

today at midnight   strtotime date  Ymd       should give you what you re after   explanation  What I did was use PHP s date function to get today s date without any references to time  and then pass it to the  string to time  function which converts a date and time to a epoch timestamp  If it doesn t get a time  it assumes the first second of that day   References  Date Function  http   php net manual en function date php  String To Time  http   us2 php net manual en function strtotime php

In more object way    today   new  DateTimeImmutable  today      example    echo  new  DateTimeImmutable  today   - gt format  Y-m-d H i s       will output  2019-05-16 00 00 00   and   echo  new  DateTimeImmutable   - gt format  Y-m-d H i s    echo  new  DateTimeImmutable  now   - gt format  Y-m-d H i s       will output  2019-05-16 14 00 35
