php - Convert ordered string to mysql Datetime -

i have api returns date string : 190416102906

which means : 19 april 2016 @ 10:29:06.

i want store in mysql datetime don't know how format it. need go 190416102906 2016-04-19 10:29:06.

i've tried use didn't understand how works :

$date_reponse = '190416102906'; $date = datetime::createfromformat("dmyhis",$date_reponse); $newdate = date_format($date, 'y-m-d h:i:s'); 

because format incorrect : "dmyhis"

y = year format 4 digit.

use y year 2 digit (dmyhis)

$date = datetime::createfromformat("dmyhis",$date_reponse);
