date() method, “A non well formed numeric value encountered” does not want to format a date passed in $_POST

by

From the documentation for strtotime():

Dates in the m/d/y or d-m-y formats are disambiguated by looking at the separator between the various components: if the separator is a slash (/), then the American m/d/y is assumed; whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed.

In your date string, you have 12-16-2013. 16 isn’t a valid month, and hence strtotime() returns false.

Since you can’t use DateTime class, you could manually replace the - with / using str_replace() to convert the date string into a format that strtotime() understands:

$date="2-16-2013";
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('-',"https://stackoverflow.com/", $date))); // => 2013-02-16
