I have the following format: 2018-10-23T12:05:18.18UTC0TUE
I need to convert to 2013-06-28T08:54:00.000-03:00 (format iso 8601).
Is there anything specific in php that will help me make this datetime?
What would this 000-03:00 be?
Simply start the constructor of DateTime by passing its string as a parameter:
$date = new DateTime('2018-10-23T12:05:18.18UTC0TUE')
And use the method DateTime::format to format in ISO8601
$date->format(DateTime::ISO8601);
You can use the date function too:
date(DATE_ISO8601, strtotime('2018-10-23T12:05:18.18UTC0TUE'))
What would this
000-03:00be?
000-03:00 are actually two things together. 000 is the end of the milliseconds of your date.
-03:00 already refers to the timezone of your date.
If you use the DateTime::getTimezone() function, you can get the object DateTimezone of your date.
See:
$date->getTimezone();
The result is:
DateTimeZone Object
(
[timezone_type] => 3
[timezone] => UTC
)
According to the Wikipedia :
[...] is the reference time zone from which all other time zones in the world are calculated.
