I've noticed that in JavaScript, when creating a Date, months are zero based.

So I input (from a mysql php call) a value like "2019, 1, 1". I get this value via: 

date("Y, m, d",strtotime($mysqlcall['recorded']))

So input that value:

var foo = new Date(2019, 1, 1)

but it produces February 1st 2019. How can I fix that problem?

Use the DateTime class:

<?php
$date = new DateTime('2020-01-01 00:00:00'); // Happy new year!
$month = $date->format('m') - 1;
echo $date->format('Y-' . $month . '-d H:i:s');
