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 // function to convert string and print
function convertString ( $date )
{
// convert date and time to seconds
$sec = strtotime ( $date );
// convert seconds into a specific format
$date = date ( "Y-m-d H:i" , $sec );
// append seconds to the date and time
$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
