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
