Is there a way to convert this:
Tue Aug 28 13:59:01 +0000 2012
Into a DateTime Object?
I need to diff the above value with a DateTime Object.
Just pass it into the DateTime constructor...
$date = new DateTime('Tue Aug 28 13:59:01 +0000 2012');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$date = new DateTime($yourDate);
this will covert to standard DateTime object
check php manual here . Example 2 will make it clear.

I have date as Fri, 15 Mar 2019 08:56:57 +0000
I want to convert this date in ISO 8601 format in UTC timezone in php.
I have tried the following:
$date = new DateTime("Fri, 15 Mar 2019 08:56:57 +0000");
$output = $date->format(\DateTime::ATOM);
Is this correct?
If you want the ISO 8601 format you should use the DateTimeInterface::ISO8601 in the format method, or you can use "c":
$date = new DateTime("Fri, 15 Mar 2019 08:56:57 +0000");
echo $date->format(\DateTime::ISO8601);
// will be 2019-03-15T08:56:57+0000
echo $date->format("c");
/*
will be 2019-03-15T08:56:57+00:00
note the : in between hh and mm in offset(timezone)
generally accepted as valid ISO 8061 see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_offsets_from_UTC
*/
Regarding the timezone if you want to force it into UCT timezone then you should use the setTimezone method on the date object first with timezone param "UTC":
$date = new DateTime("Fri, 15 Mar 2019 08:56:57 +0000");
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
$output = $date->format(\DateTime::ISO8601);
Note about the above that if your original date time is not in UTC(has an offset) the time will be converted to UTC and the offset will be 0000:
$date = new DateTime("Fri, 15 Mar 2019 08:56:57 +0230");
echo $date->format(\DateTime::ISO8601);
// will be: 2019-03-15T08:56:57+0230
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
echo $date->format(\DateTime::ISO8601);
// will be: 2019-03-15T06:26:57+0000
My vuexy datepicker returns the following string:
Tue Dec 01 2020 21:30:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)
In my controller (Laravel) I want to convert this into simple date format - yyyy-mm-dd.
I have tried with strtotime() & date() but nothing works. It may need to use DateTime::createFromFormat() but I could not pick the syntax.
How can I convert it into yyyy-mm-dd?
This is working for me:
$date = 'Tue Dec 01 2020 21:30:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)';
$date = preg_replace('/\(.*\)$/', '', $date); # Get rid of TZ from the date string
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date));
Here's another sample using the DateTime class
$date = 'Tue Dec 01 2020 21:30:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)';
$date = preg_replace('/\(.*\)$/', '', $date);
$dt = new DateTime($date);
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d');
Both Output:
2020-12-01
Hi Friend You Can Use Carbon Package one of the most recomonded package. Please follow the code as below
use Carbon; //use at the begining of class/controller
$date = 'Tue Dec 01 2020 21:30:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)';
$formated_date = Carbon::parse($date)->format('Y-m-d');
//output will be 2020-12-01
I am getting a date format like Mon Apr 22 2013 12:16:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) form a javascript to my php function.
I want to store that to my database table in "2013-04-22 12:16:00" format.
Can any one help me to convert this date type.
I tried:
date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$startDate);
But it's giving error as
date() expects parameter 2 to be long string given
Use strtotime() and date():
$originalDate = "Mon Apr 22 2013 12:16:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)" ;
$newDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($originalDate));
(see strtotime and date docs on the PHP site).
or use DateTime:
<?php
$source = "Mon Apr 22 2013 12:16:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)";
$date = new DateTime($source);
echo $date->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"); // 22 2013 12:16:00
echo $date->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"); // 22 2013 12:16:00
?>

Try using strtotime to convert the timestamp to unix-format so you can use it in the date() function:
date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime($startDate));
You can also try using the (usually included) DateTime class. In particular, have a look at DateTime::createFromFormat. It may help you get around ambiguities in the date string (strtotime() will sometimes fail or mis-parse a date string). DateTime::createFromFormat allows you to specifically designate the format of the date string so there can be no ambiguity.
firstly you need to save it as Timestamp so,
$startDate = strtotime($javascript_value);
$result = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$startDate);
I'm new at String functions, so I need a complex substr and trim functions for this string:
Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:04:30 GMT
String comes to me always with this format. I want to convert it to DateTime object. Anybody can help me?
$dateString = 'Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:04:30 GMT';
$dateTime = datetime::createfromformat('D, d M Y H:i:s e',$dateString);
echo $dateTime->format('d-M-Y H:i:s e');
<?php
$date = new DateTime('Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:04:30 GMT');
echo $date->format('r');
... prints:
Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:04:30 +0000
If you are wanting to take a date string and write that to the database as a date object using Doctrine:
Note: This is a form post example for Symfony 3 and 4.
$mynewdateobject = new \DateTime($request->request->get('mydatestring'));
Then you can write the object to the database or use it elsewhere in your code.
I'm getting xml and rss feeds and putting the data into a database. I've run into two different date formats so far...
Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:28:50 GMT
And
2010-07-20T17:33:19Z
I'm sure there will be more. My postgresql database for the date is timestamp without time zone. Is there an existing function in php or is there a procedure to convert the any date strings to timestamp without time zone (Y-m-d H:i:s)?
Use date with strtotime:
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:28:50 GMT'));
echo $date;
Result:
2010-07-21 05:28:50
.
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2010-07-20T17:33:19Z'));
echo $date;
Result:
2010-07-20 22:33:19
You don't need to convert it at all. PostgreSQL should convert automatically:
postgres=# create table test_tz (f1 timestamp without time zone);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test_tz (f1) values ('Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:28:50 GMT');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into test_tz (f1) values ('2010-07-20T17:33:19Z');
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select f1 from test_tz;
f1

2010-07-21 00:28:50
2010-07-20 17:33:19
Timestamps are considered to be UTC.
$dt = new DateTime('Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:28:50 GMT');
echo $dt->format('U'); // 1279672130
is the same timestamp as
$dt = new DateTime('Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:28:50 CEST');
echo $dt->format('U'); // 1279672130
Note that the U formatting option requires PHP5.3 though. When supplying a timezone identifier in the Date String, the DateTime object recognizes the Timezone, so when you call the following on the GMT DateTime instance
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
it will return 2010-07-21 00:28:50. You can change a DateTime object's timezone with it's setTimezone() method though.
$dt = new DateTime('Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:28:50 GMT+2');
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // 2010-07-21 00:28:50
But if you just need the timestamp, it's not needed.
