i think you are getting exactly what you are asking for...

what do you really want to have happen? the current date to be displayed? if so, use
date() instead of
strtotime()

no its a date out a datbank

I'm afraid I can't help you solf anything until you say what you should be getting when you give it "00-00-0000" - it's not like that makes sense as a date in the first place.

it read automathical 0000-00-00 out the databank if no date is fild in but the result on the screen must then 00-00-0000

Well, that's because 0000-00-00 isnt a valid date string, so the parsing gets a little off.

If you're storing the date in that format, then what do you expect the year, month and day to be?

You probably should just check for that special value and skip the formatting for it.
If it isnt that value, then by all means run your date formatting.
