PHP中的strtotime（）转换出错

Question

My variable $createdDate has a value '2014-06-23T01:44:22Z' something like this in it. It's fetched from database.

And when I convert it into standard format using strtotime(), the time returned is always 2 hours different(ahead) from the orginal variable's time.

$time1 = strtotime($createdDate);
$cretime_formated=date("Y-m-d h:i:s",$time1);

Output of $cretime_formated is 2014-06-23 03:44:22 instead of 2014-06-23 01:44:22. Why is there a difference of 2 hours in the time??? Is there anything wrong with my conversion process??

Answer 1

Given that the date is in Zulu timezone (and assuming all such timestamps are in that same timezone), you would need gmdate() to format it:

$cretime_formated = gmdate("Y-m-d h:i:s",$time1);
