从Zend framework2上的datetimelocal表单元素中的数据库获取数据

Question

I've a form set up using Zend Framework 2 with an element type 'DateTimeLocal'

When I add a new record using the form all works well.

When I edit a record the form appears to fill out correctly: I've formatted the data to pass to the form using:

$this->startDate = (!empty($data['startDate'])) ? date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s",strtotime($data['startDate'])) : null;

and in the view add using:

echo $this->formRow($form->get('startDate'));

However when I go to submit the form having made edits, I get the message 'The input does not appear to be a valid date'. Using the chrome I re-enter the date, and it appears identical to what was pre-filled, but then submits fine.

html source rendered by zendframework is: <label><span>Start Date</span><input type="datetime" name="startDate" value="2014-12-21T00&#x3A;00&#x3A;00"></label>

I'd have thought this was a common action but seam to be struggling to find examples.

I eventually stumbled across https://stackoverflow.com/a/32003481/1836257

My date format was incorrect. I should have used $this->startDate = (!empty($data['startDate'])) ? date("Y-m-d\TH:i",strtotime($data['startDate'])) : null;
