Convert string date to new format

Question

How to convert a string, for instance

$datestring = '28.08.14 10.42';

To a new format like date("YmdHis.u")

Thank you

Answer 1

Use date function. There is no such format as what you have required but the what I think you want to achieve is this.

DEMO

<?php

$datestring = '28.08.14 10.42';

$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s:u", strtotime($datestring));
echo $date; //outputs 2014-08-28 10:42:00:000000

?>

Answer 2

Try this

$datestring = '28.08.14 10.42';
echo date("YmdHis.u",strtotime($datestring));
