daterange with timerange using codeigniter 3 and ajax - ajax

Question

I have a daterange picker and it is fully working. However, I have a new target which is daterange with timepicker. But the thing is I don't know how to implement it like what I did on my daterange without timepicker. Is there any way where I can implement it? I have provided my codes below of my fully working daterange picker. I have provided also my screenshot of my current daterange and my target daterange with timepicker. Thank you in advance.

What is your exact error? I think that you need to sanitize your post values before the query.
Change This:
$this->db->where('dateCre >=', $this->input->post('from'));
To this (please select the correct format in your case)
$from_date = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y h:m:s', $this->input->post('from'));
$this->db->where('dateCre >=', $from_date->format('Y-m-d h:m:s'));
Do it also with the "post('to')" value.
