Well, I am working with twitch's API currently and I want to echo the time that the current stream started at. Currently the following is output: 2015-04-11T07:45:20Z seconds so I am wondering how I would convert this into a readable time. i.e. 07:45:20.

Is `seconds` actually part of that value? – John Conde Apr 11 '15 at 14:53

DateTime::createFromFormat() allows you to read in non-standard date input and turn it into a DateTime object that you can then use to format your output however you like:
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z *', '2015-04-11T07:45:20Z seconds');
echo $date->format('H:i:s'); // 07:45:20
