How do you format date as the following example: 2021-08-17T10:19:02.019Z in PHP-CodePudding

I have use PHP to convert a simple datetime from MySQL

example: 2022-02-21 10:26:27

to a format like this one:

2021-08-17T10:19:02.019Z.

What function and formatting pattern should I use?

Also, could you please help me understand what the .019Z stand for?

Thank you!

CodePudding user response：

The format you're looking for is ISO8601.

You can use the defined constants in DateTime object in PHP:

echo $objDateTime->format('c');
echo $objDateTime->format(DateTime::ISO8601);

See also DateTime formats in PHP documentation and the DateTime class itself

DateTime::format -- DateTimeImmutable::format -- DateTimeInterface::format -- date_format — Returns date formatted according to given format
