XML Date Conversion

[SF23103]

Hello,

 

I am getting some data from an XML source and it includes a date and time in the format:

 

<DATE>2017-09-01T00:00:00-07:00</DATE>

<TIME>00:19:43</TIME>

 

My question is how to format that date style.  Do I need to split it up somehow first in order to format it?  The code I figured would work (but doesn't) was:

 

date_format($inc->DATE, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

Thanks for your help!

How to reformat it? Parse it with either strtotime() or DateTime, then format the result with date() or ->format() respectively.
