从时间字符串获取小时和分钟

Question

I have response from an API like below

2019-05-08T10:36:00+0530

I want to take 10:36 from it, right now I do something with regex like

preg_match('/T(.*?)\:00/');

It works, but is there any other actual way to do it more efficiently? That works on any time string in this format?

Answer 1

Create a DateTime object by passing that string into the constructor and just format it to your liking with format()! You might want H:i if you just want the hours and minutes, or H:i:s if you want to include the seconds.

$string = "2019-05-08T10:36:00+0530";
$date = new DateTime($string);
echo $date->format("H:i:s");
