PHP has date function with c ISO 8601 date (added in PHP 5)

Simple:

<?php
echo date("c");

You have not given us your current timestamp, but you can echo the mentioned timestamp like this:

echo Date("Y-m-d"). "T" .date("h:i:s-O");

I believe T means time. But don't know

This wouldn't give the addtional -5:00 according to the time zone. – Indrasis Datta May 03 '16 at 05:43
