PHP program to change date format (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 11 May, 2018

You are given a string which contain date and time. Date in dd/mm/yyyy format and time in 12 hrs format.You have to convert date in yyyy/mm/dd format and time in 24 hrs format. Examples:

Input : $date = "12/05/2018 10:12 AM" Output : 2018-05-12 10:12:00

Input : $date = "06/12/2014 04:13 PM" Output : 2014-12-06 16:13:00

First we will convert date to unix timestamp using strtotime() and then use date() to convert it to a specific format(The strtotime() function parses an English textual datetime into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT))

php `

sec=strtotime(sec = strtotime(sec=strtotime(date); // convert seconds into a specific format date=date("Y−m−dH:i",date = date("Y-m-d H:i", date=date("Y−m−dH:i",sec); // append seconds to the date and time date=date = date=date . ":00"; // print final date and time echo $date; } // Driver code $date = "06/12/2014 04:13 PM"; convertString($date); ?>

Output:

2014-06-12 16:13:00
