Php Convert time in gmt format

Question

I have this string 2012-06-27 16:17:06 and I want to convert it to GMT format.
How can I do that?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

// Set timeline
$time_line = time() +7200; // <-- this is timeline +2
$h = gmdate('h', $time_line);
$i = gmdate('i', $time_line);
$s = gmdate('s', $time_line);

$time = $h.":".$i.":".$s;

echo $time;

Answer 2

PHP's DateTime Object is a good choice:

$GMT = new DateTimeZone("GMT");
$date = new DateTime( "2011-01-01 15:00:00", $GMT );
$date->setTimezone( $newTZ );
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); 

Answer 3

Well, strictly speaking you can not do it. If you do not know in what TZ that date has been generated you can not convert it to another TZ.

If that date came from a DB, probably you can query a date with the original TZ.

$date = new DateTime( "2011-01-01 15:00:00", $original_TZ ); 
$date->setTimezone( "GMT" );

Answer 4

Try this, It will work

$newTZ = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Calcutta");
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta");  
$GMT = new DateTimeZone("GMT");
$date = new DateTime( "2018-09-20 6:00:00 PM", $newTZ );
$date->setTimezone($GMT);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Answer 5

Use gmdate().
Convert your current date format to UNIX timestamp by using strtotime and then use gmdate($format, $timestamp);

Answer 6

Try this.

$time = '2012-06-27 16:17:06';
echo date("l, F j, Y, g:i a",strtotime($time) ); // assuming gmt format
