PHP - 将字符串转换为日期

Question

I am getting a string like Wed Sep 28 2016 01:00:00 GMT+0500 (PKT) and I need to convert it to 2016-09-28 01:00:00 I have tried this

$startTime   = strtotime($updatedData['start']);
echo $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$startTime);

but it returns me 2016-09-27 20:00:00

Answer 1

You could change it to use DateTime:

$startTime = new DateTime('Wed Sep 28 2016 01:00:00 GMT+0500 (PKT)');
echo $startTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

DateTime keeps the timezone you give him.
