Need help on Time Formating

[neilfurry]

Hi there,

 

i've been struggling on a problem converting datetime format to ISO8601

 

here is my code:

 

 

 
$string = $_REQUEST['sched-date']." ".$_REQUEST['sched-start'];
$start_string = date("Y-m-d H:i", strtotime($string));
$newformat = date('c',$start_string);

echo "String: ".$string;
echo "\n";
echo "ISO Format: ".$newformat;

 

AND Here is the output:

 

 

String: 07/30/2015 07:45 AM
ISO Format: 1969-12-31T17:33:35-07:00

 

You will notice that the ISO output is not correct. can you help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Neil

The second argument to date() is a number, not a string. See how the first time you used it the value came from strtotime() but the second time it came from date()?

$time = strtotime($_REQUEST['sched-date']." ".$_REQUEST['sched-start']);
$newformat = date('c', $time);

How about:

 

$string = $_REQUEST['sched-date']." ".$_REQUEST['sched-start'];
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i', $string);

echo "String: $string\n";
echo "ISO Format: " . $date->format('c');
