php echo line causes 500 internal server error

Question

$dt1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('M dS, Y', $checkin);

echo($dt1); 

When I add the echo line I receive a 500 internal server error.

Answer 1

$dt1 is an object ..So you cant simply echo it.It will raise error.You would need to do like..

echo $dt1->format('d.m.Y');
