PHP将MM / DD / YYYY字符串转换为MMDDYYYY [复制]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Convert one date format into another in PHP 15 answers

I have a string representing a date. It's format is MM/DD/YYYY.
I need to submit it via API to a service that requires MMDDYYYY.
Should I bother with overloading this string onto some date class and 'export' as MMDDYYY or just delete the "/" sub-string wherever I find it?

Any other neat way of doing that I wasn't aware of?

You can use the DateTime object in PHP (http://php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php)

Here is how I would do it:

<?php

$myDate = '05/15/2015';

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('m/d/Y H:i:s', "$myDate 00:00:00");
$newDate = $date->format('mdY');

echo $newDate . PHP_EOL;

?>
