Hi I am new into PHP and I really really like it so var. I have a string which I want to convert into a custom date and time by adding just simple characters. I first tried fixing it by myself, but everything I tried didn't worked for me.

Input:

$customdate = "27032017042100";

I want to add to the string above characters like: / and :

Expected result:

27/03/2017 04:21:00

  • Why don't you simply take a look into the php documentation to learn about the date functions? http://php.net/manual/en/refs.calendar.php – arkascha Mar 27 '17 at 09:47

This is a simple date function: 

echo date('d/m/Y h:i:s');

See http://php.net/manual/es/function.date.php for more ideas.

Its quite simple.

<?php
    $customdate = "27032017042100";
    echo gmdate("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z", $customdate);
?>

If you need to convert your data from STRING, you can use folowing code

if (preg_match("/([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})/", $customdate, $rg))
    $newdate = $rg[1]."/".$rg[2]."/".$rg[3]." ".$rg[4].":".$rg[5].":".$rg[6]
