As in title, I need to convert (for example) "Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:32:44 GMT" format to Y-m-d H:i:s in php.

Anyone know how to do that ?

Use DateTime::createFromFormat. It allows to specify the format of the input, and with format you can specify the desired output:

$dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('D, d M Y H:i:s e', 'Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:32:44 GMT');
echo $dateTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');  // 2020-10-08 08:32:44

The documentation provides all the formatting characters you can use.

Make use of strtotime and date function See Demo

$ php -r '$str="Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:32:44 GMT"; print date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime("$str"));'
2020-10-08 08:32:44

Better readable version

<?php

$str="Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:32:44 GMT"; 
print date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime("$str"));

?>

  • Akshay Hegde, maybe You know how to convert date format (like You wrote) but in foreach loop ? – Paweł Smacki Oct 08 '20 at 17:29
  • @PawełSmacki just pass value over iteration in place of `$str` – Akshay Hegde Oct 09 '20 at 04:32

Just use date to convert that. Pass the format string and the date in Unix timestamp (you can convert it using strtotime).

Example:

$date = "Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:32:44 GMT";
$newDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($date));
