PHP Convert Date/Time Format to another

Question

I have a Date/time value as such;

2014-01-07T16:19:08Z

I wish to convert it to the format below using PHP

2015-03-21 02:12:01

I know I could use string replace twice over to remove the T and Z characters but doesn't seem right..

`str_replace(array('T', 'Z'), ' ', $timestr)` – Sougata Bose Nov 05 '15 at 07:48 — Sougata Bose, Nov 05 '15 at 07:48

The date_format() function returns a date formatted according to the specified format.

$date=date_create("2014-01-07T16:19:08Z");
echo date_format($date,"Y-m-d H:i:s");

One more way is there

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('2014-01-07T16:19:08Z'));

Update

The date_create() function returns a new DateTime object.

use strtotime() with date()

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('2014-01-07T16:19:08Z'));
