Neither example work as you have multiple errors:

1. You forgot your second parameter to Datetime::createFromFormat()
   


2. 
   h:i:s should be H:i:s
   


3. Your date in the second example is separated by a . not a -
   

Fixes:

<?php 
 $date = "13-06-2015 23:45:52";
 echo DateTime::createFromFormat('d-m-Y H:i:s', $date)->format('Y-m-d h:i:s'); 

 $date = "10.06.2015 09:25:52";
 echo DateTime::createFromFormat('d.m.Y H:i:s', $date)->format('Y-m-d h:i:s');
?>

In my case I was getting this error because I was using microtime(true) as input:

$now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', microtime(true));

In the specific moments where microtime returns a float with only zeros as decimals, this error appeared.

So I had to verify if its decimals and add a decimal part:

$aux = microtime(true);
$decimais = $aux - floor($aux);
if($decimais<=10e-5) $aux += 0.1; 
$now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $aux);

EDIT:

Due to floating point precision sometimes floor brings an incorret floor, so I had to use a more straight forward approach:

$aux = microtime(true);
$now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $aux); 
if (is_bool($now)) $now = DateTime::createFromFormat('U.u', $aux += 0.001);
