Date and time in 24 hours format
https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_date.asp
Get a Date
The required format parameter of the date() function specifies how to format the date (or time).
Here are some characters that are commonly used for dates:
- d - Represents the day of the month (01 to 31)
- m - Represents a month (01 to 12)
- Y - Represents a year (in four digits)
- l (lowercase 'L') - Represents the day of the week
Get a Time
Here are some characters that are commonly used for times:
- H - 24-hour format of an hour (00 to 23)
- h - 12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros (01 to 12)
- i - Minutes with leading zeros (00 to 59)
- s - Seconds with leading zeros (00 to 59)
- a - Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem (am or pm)

public DateTime::format ( string $format ) : string
<?php
$datetime = new DateTime( "now", new DateTimeZone( "Europe/Bucharest" ) );
echo $datetime->format( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
Use H
instead:
$test = 'Fri, 15 Jan 2016 15:14:10 +0800';
$t = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($test));
echo $t;
H: 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros 00 through 23
G should be the same, but without leading zeroes though. I suspect that your PHP is set to a different timezone than +0800
. Can you confirm your timezone (date_default_timezone_get()
)?
EDIT
OP confirmed that his timezone was set to UTC, in which case it maskes perfect sense that it shows 7 in the morning, as date
uses PHPs default timezone.
If you want to "inherit" the Timezone, while getting more flexibility, you should switch to DateTime
:
echo (new DateTime($test))->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
