I\'m grabbing some information from a database and the record is in an MSSQL DateTime format, when I return it, it shows in my array as follows:
[arrayItem] =>
Since its an object, you can't get the properties like you do with an array. You need the -> sign for accessing the date. In your question it seems as if you var_dumped the variable $arrayItem, so, use it like this:
->
$arrayItem
$date = strtotime($array['arrayItem']->date]);
