使用PHP更改ISO8601日期格式

Question

I am trying to get the current date/time using Data Type: ISODateTime and Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS e.g. 2012-02-06T08:35:30. I searched how I would do this in PHP and found that I can use;

$formatedDate = date("c");

Although the output of this is almost correct is not quite what I need and I can't figure out how to alter it, the current output of this is;

2014-07-01T10:53:10+02:00

My problem is I need to remove the "+02:00" and also this time is an hour ahead of my local time, which is what I need. Therefore, in this example, I would require;

2014-07-01T09:53:10

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

You could just format the date manually.

$formattedDate =  date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s');

To get your local time, use date_default_timezone_set() to set the appropriate timezone (before declaring $formattedDate).

// Change 'America/New_York' to your timezone
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

See demo

To find your timezone, see the List of Supported Timezones.
