Might not be an exact duplicate but the answers there pretty much cover the same situation – Lix May 28 '14 at 13:30

How do you indicate the timezone for 08:47? – Mark Baker May 28 '14 at 13:34

// Convert to a DateTime object
$dateTime = new DateTime('2014-05-28T06:47:05+01:00');
$dateTime->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
// Add an hour (as you requested)
$dateTime->add(new DateInterval('PT1H'));
// Display formatted date/time
echo $dateTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
or your timezone of choice

It looks like the datetime string already has a timezone offset, so convertng it to UTC may have unintended results. – Oscar M. May 28 '14 at 13:43

@OscarM. - which is precisely why I asked for any clarification; though the +01:00 could also be DST – Mark Baker May 28 '14 at 13:44

You use strtotime to convert the time to an integer, then use date to convert it back to a string in the format you'd like.
