PHP date create always returns false

Question

I'm trying to create new date in PHP but it always returns false no matter what I try. What returns false:

date_create($request->start_date);
DateTime::createFromFormat('d/M/Y H:i:s', $request->start_date);
date_create_from_format("d/M/Y H:i:s",$request->start_date);

and $request->start_date looks like this "25/04/2017 20:30:00"

Try

DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i:s', $request->start_date);

The M you were using is for a textual representation of a month, not numeric (see manual)
