How to extract date from database using php

Question

I'm trying to create a weekly work schedule. When I try to select the shifts from the database my date value is selecting the current time but the date (Ymd) from the table.

This is my code:

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
          $dt = new DateTime();
          $dt->setISODate($year, $week);

          $fetch_mID = $row['ID_EMPLOYEE'];
          $fetch_fn = $row['Firstname'];
          $fetch_en = $row['Lastname'];
          echo "<tr>";
            echo "<td>" . $fetch_fn . " " . $fetch_en . "</td>";

            do {
              $obj = new ReflectionObject($dt);
              $pro = $obj->getProperty('date');
              $date = $pro->getValue($dt);
              echo $date; //Output = 'Y-m-d H:m:s'

              $shift = $conn->query("SELECT ShiftDate, ShiftStart, ShiftEnd FROM shifts WHERE ID_EMPLOYEE = '$fetch_mID' AND Date(ShiftDate) = '$date'");
              $fetch = mysqli_fetch_array($shift);
              $dt->modify('+1 day');
            } while ($week == $dt->format('W'));

I would expect the $date to output Ymd but it outputs Ymd H:m:s. And the time is the current time.

The solution is to convert $date to date object and then format the date with the new format Ymd .

  $time = strtotime($date);
  $newformat = date('Y-m-d',$time);
  echo $newformat; // output 2019-04-05

You new code seems to b something like :

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
          $dt = new DateTime();
          $dt->setISODate($year, $week);

          $fetch_mID = $row['ID_EMPLOYEE'];
          $fetch_fn = $row['Firstname'];
          $fetch_en = $row['Lastname'];
          echo "<tr>";
            echo "<td>" . $fetch_fn . " " . $fetch_en . "</td>";

            do {
              $obj = new ReflectionObject($dt);
              $pro = $obj->getProperty('date');
              $date = $pro->getValue($dt);
              //new code
              $newformat = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date));
              echo $newformat; // output 2019-04-05
              // end new code
              $shift = $conn->query("SELECT ShiftDate, ShiftStart, ShiftEnd FROM shifts WHERE ID_EMPLOYEE = '$fetch_mID' AND Date(ShiftDate) = '$date'");
              $fetch = mysqli_fetch_array($shift);
              $dt->modify('+1 day');
            } while ($week == $dt->format('W'));
