PHP Convert date Timezone to Epoch - php

Question

Any help with PHP to convert the below, taking into consideration the time zone at the end, to UNIX epoch for MYSQL insert.
29/05/2022 22:23:04 +00:00
No examples of attempts :-/ Tried basic strtotime on it's own.

Answer 1

Just parse the date and call getTimestamp.
$unixtime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i:s P', '29/05/2022 22:23:04 +00:00')->getTimestamp();
echo $unixtime;
Output:
1653862984

In the interest of helping someone out in a pinch .. You need to do something like this. I don't know your exact timezones, if they are +0:00 or +00:00 .. But this will get you started as a stand-alone app that you can form into your own script...
<?php
$zones =array(
'-10:00' => 'America/Atka',
'-09:00' => 'America/Yakutat',
'-08:00' => 'Mexico/BajaNorte',
'-07:00' => 'Mexico/BajaSur',
'-06:00' => 'Mexico/General',
'-05:00' => 'Canada/Eastern',
'-04:-30' => 'America/Caracas',
'-04:00' => 'Chile/Continental',
'-03:-30' => 'Canada/Newfoundland',
'-03:00' => 'Brazil/East',
'-02:00' => 'Brazil/DeNoronha',
'-01:00' => 'Atlantic/Cape_Verde',
'+00:00' => 'Europe/London',
'+01:00' => 'Europe/Zurich',
'+02:00' => 'Europe/Zaporozhye',
'+03:00' => 'Indian/Mayotte',
'+03:30' => 'Asia/Tehran',
'+04:00' => 'Indian/Reunion',
'+04:30' => 'Asia/Kabul',
'+05:00' => 'Indian/Maldives',
'+05:30' => 'Asia/Kolkata',
'+05:45' => 'Asia/Katmandu',
'+06:00' => 'Indian/Chagos',
'+06:30' => 'Indian/Cocos',
'+07:00' => 'Indian/Christmas',
'+08:00' => 'Australia/West',
'+08:45' => 'Australia/Eucla',
'+09:00' => 'Asia/Yakutsk',
'+09:30' => 'Australia/Yancowinna',
'+10:00' => 'Australia/Victoria',
'+10:30' => 'Australia/Lord_Howe',
'+11:00' => 'Asia/Magadan',
'+12:00' => 'Asia/Kamchatka'
);
$my_time = '29/05/2022 22:23:04 +00:00';
$time_split = explode(' ', $my_time);
$my_date = $time_split[0];
$my_time = $time_split[1];
$my_zone = $time_split[2];
$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y G:H:s', "$my_date $my_time");
$timezone = new DateTimeZone($zones[$my_zone]);
$datetime->setTimezone($timezone);
echo "Your Date:Time: " . $datetime->format('F d, Y H:i') . "\n";
echo "Your EPOCH: " . strtotime($datetime->format('F d, Y H:i')) . "\n";
