Is it possible to change data type from String to Date

Question

I'm getting in trouble where I was coding for connection using OpenX API with XML-RPC2. I get the problem that the data type is required by the fire function is the dateTime.iso8601.

This is my code:

$sdatetime = new DateTime('2013-01-01 00:00:00');
$edatetime = new DateTime('2013-06-01 00:00:00');

$startDate = $sdatetime->format(DateTime::ISO8601);
$endDate = $edatetime->format(DateTime::ISO8601);

try {
    $result = $aClient->agencyPublisherStatistics($sessionId, 1, $startDate, $endDate);
    print_r($result);
} catch (XML_RPC2_FaultException $e) {
    die('Exception #' . $e->getFaultCode() . ' : ' . $e->getFaultString());
}

This is result error, when I run script above:

Exception #3 : Incorrect parameters passed to method: Wanted dateTime.iso8601, got string at param 3

If I run print_r(gettype($startDate)); I get the type data is string not date.

My question, for variables $startDate and $endDate how to make their data type to be dateTime.iso8601 or date rather than string.

Thanks.

I do not know this api very well, but how about just passing the $sdatetime object? — nvanesch, May 01 '13 at 09:40

it looks like your agencyPublisherStatistics requires specific XML_RPC2_Value date object. You cancreate this by using.

$startDate = XML_RPC2_Value::createFromNative($startDate, ‘datetime’);

same for the end date.. let me know if this works..

Try this,

$sdatetime = date(DATE_ISO8601, strtotime('2013-01-01 00:00:00'));
$edatetime = date(DATE_ISO8601, strtotime('2013-06-01 00:00:00'));

use DateTime::setISODate

$sdatetime = new DateTime('2013-01-01 00:00:00');
$edatetime = new DateTime('2013-06-01 00:00:00');

$startDate = $sdatetime->setISODate(2013);
$endDate = $edatetime->setISODate(2013);
