I've got a variable that upon var_dump prints this.
It contains a date, but I just don't know how to access the date data, if I put
$myVariable[date] OR $myVariable["date"] OR $myVariable['date'] all result in error.
object(DateTime)#8 (3) {
["date"]=> string(19) "2011-07-25 00:00:00"
["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Stockholm"
}
I don't understand what the first number is either, the #8 right after the (DateTime)...
echo $myVariable->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
(thanks to kmfk for that answer)

Awkward problem -> I'm trying to get current date&time in ISO 8601 format (like this: 2022-02-11 12:30:02.846108).
When I run $time = new Time('now', 'Europe/Amsterdam') in CI4, $time returns this:
object(CodeIgniter\I18n\Time)#79 (6)
{ ["timezone":protected]=> object(DateTimeZone)#80 (2)
{ ["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
["locale":protected]=> string(2) "en"
["toStringFormat":protected]=> string(19) "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
["date"]=> string(26) "2022-02-11 12:30:02.846108"
["timezone_type"]=> int(3)
["timezone"]=> string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
but when i try to get $time->date returns NULL.
Any ideea how to access date string in order to get the current time with microseconds?
Found out there is no ->date attribute in the DateTime object, which is why $time->date returns NULL.
The proper way to get the date with microseconds is:
$time->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.u')
Please let me construct a statement to calculate the number of days between two variables that have the format: 20211024. This is of course the year, then month, then day in a single eight digit variable.
By using the DateTime class?
$d = new DateTime('20211024');
var_dump($d);
$d2 = new DateTime('20211014');
var_dump($d2);
echo $d->diff($d2)->format('%R%a days');
That example code gives the output:
object(DateTime)#7 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2021-10-24 00:00:00.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(3) "UTC"
}
object(DateTime)#8 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2021-10-14 00:00:00.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(3) "UTC"
}
-10 days
Example fiddle
I want to create a DateTime object from a millisecond timestamp but that does not seem to work:
$timestamp_in_ms = 1546300800000; // int or string no difference
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat("Uv", $timestamp_in_ms));
var_dump(DateTime::getLastErrors());
This results in:
bool(false)
array(4) {
["warning_count"]=>
int(0)
["warnings"]=>
array(0) {
}
["error_count"]=>
int(1)
["errors"]=>
array(1) {
[13]=>
string(12) "Data missing"
}
}
However if I use a slightly different notation it does work:
$timestamp_in_ms = "1546300800.000";
var_dump(DateTime::createFromFormat("U\.v", $timestamp_in_ms));
var_dump(DateTime::getLastErrors());
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2019-01-01 00:00:00.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(1)
["timezone"]=>
string(6) "+00:00"
}
Yes I can do something like this:
$timestamp_with_dot = $timestamp_in_ms / 1000 + "." + $timestamp_in_ms % 1000;
The documentation does not provide any insight in this. Both U and v are supported.
Anybody more info on this issue? I am running PHP 7.4.10
With a division by 1000 you can convert your millisecond timestamp as a float in seconds.
$msTimeStamp = 1600790571478;
$floatSec = $msTimeStamp/1000.0;
When using DateTime::createFromFormat, you can also use the "U.u" format. The "u" format should be exactly 6 characters. This can be done with sprintf().
$dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat("U\.u", sprintf('%1.6F',$floatSec));
//test
echo $dateTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s.u');
//2020-09-22 16:02:51.478000
//Timezone "+00:00" (UTC)
The millisecond timestamp can also be a float and also contain microseconds.
The above code works on 32-bit systems too.
I'm using the following format Y-m-d\TH:i:s.v\Z to follow the JavaScript toISOString implementation (2011-10-05T14:48:00.000Z).
Everything works fine if I have a DateTime and I want to format it, however I cannot parse a string that uses this format.
$format = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s.v\Z';
$stringDateTime = (new \DateTime())->format($format);
var_dump(date_create_from_format($format,$stringDateTime));
I'm using PHP 7 and I have tested the code above with PHP 7.0,7.1 and 7.2. The return that I expect in line 3 is a DateTime class, however I'm getting a false due to there is a parse problem.
I hope someone can clarify this behavior.
Thanks
Datetime will handle it fine, you won't need to create from format.
<?php
$format = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s.v\Z';
$stringDateTime = (new \DateTime())->format($format);
var_dump(date_create($stringDateTime));
https://3v4l.org/phLE1
Result:
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2018-03-13 18:07:30.005000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(2)
["timezone"]=>
string(1) "Z"
}
This also works:
<?php
$format = 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s.u\Z';
$stringDateTime = (new \DateTime())->format($format);
var_dump(date_create_from_format($format, $stringDateTime));
$format = \DateTime::ISO8601;
$stringDateTime = (new \DateTime())->format($format);
var_dump(date_create_from_format($format, $stringDateTime));
https://3v4l.org/FcUqe
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2018-03-13 18:15:10.011717"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(16) "Europe/Amsterdam"
}
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2018-03-13 18:15:10.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(1)
["timezone"]=>
string(6) "+01:00"
}
I use PHP7, Symfony 2.8 andDoctrine ORM 2.5.
I have an entity with a datetime field:
/** #ORM\Column(name="data_ordine", type="datetime", nullable=true) */
private $dataOrdine;
/**
* #param mixed $dataOrdine
*/
public function setDataOrdine($dataOrdine = null)
{
$this->dataOrdine = $dataOrdine;
}
/**
* #return mixed
*/
public function getDataOrdine()
{
return $this->dataOrdine;
}
When i try to get the $dataOrdine field ($ordine->getDataOrdine()) of a persisted entity on MySQL database if the dataOrdine column is NULL i got:
object(DateTime)#551 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(27) "-0001-11-30 00:00:00.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(13) "Europe/Berlin"
}
instead of NULL
I ran into the same issue some time ago. As #goto said your column is not coming as NULL because new DateTime(NULL) is a valid statement.
As this is exactly what happened to me I am entirely sure that the value for the problematic row is coming as 0000-00-00 00:00:00 which makes new DateTime('0000-00-00 00:00:00') to return the wrong date.
$null_date = new DateTime(null);
$wrong_date = new DateTime('0000-00-00 00:00:00');
var_dump($null_date);
var_dump($wrong_date);
object(DateTime)#1 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2018-01-17 13:22:01.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(10) "US/Pacific"
}
object(DateTime)#2 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(27) "-0001-11-30 00:00:00.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(3)
["timezone"]=>
string(10) "US/Pacific"
}
I've got a workaround which I didn't like at all and instead of what is posted and accepted as an answer I made the DBA to no allow NULL|invalid dates at those columns.
More info at: How to handle default values for a DateTime type in Doctrine2 SELECT query?
Some clients show null for 0000-00-00 00:00:00 values. So check via the command line client to be sure (CLI shows correct values). And then just update to null where the value is 0000-00-00 00:00:00
