The task is to convert DateTime to String using PHP. There are two ways to convert it.
1. By using Format method
- In the Format method, we can convert the DateTime object to a string.
- The DateTime to string program is programmed below:
Example:
PHP
<?php // Store datetime in variable today $today = date("d/m/Y H:i:s"); if ($today) { echo $today; // If unknown time } else { echo "can't display time"; } ?> |
Output:
07/05/2021 17:57:38
2. By using list() method:
- The list() method is used to convert the DateTime object to string.
- The shorter way of list method is programmed below:
PHP
<?PHP // Using list method to display the datetime list($day, $month, $year, $hour, $min, $sec) = explode("/", date('d/m/Y/h/i/s')); // Display the datetime echo $month . '/' . $day . '/' . $year . ' ' . $hour . ':' . $min . ':' . $sec; ?> |
Output:
05/07/2021 05:58:48
