Convert date to W3C format

Question

I have date format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.u):

2017-05-05T18:20:26.000Z

I need to convert it, so it will be without ms (.u) and to add GMT zone at the end of it (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+TZD):

2017-05-05T18:20:26+00:00

How to do that? Should I use format() or date_format()?

Thank You!

Or maybe should I remove the .000Z using str_replace() and add +00:00 to the end? — Ho Thanh Cyberdelia Nhan, Jul 16 '17 at 17:37

You could use DateTime::createFromFormat().

$datestring = "2017-05-05T18:20:26.000Z";
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat("YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.u", $datestring);

Then use format() on $date as you need it.
