在php中以YYYY-MM-DDThh：mmTZD格式输出日期

Question

I'm building a sitemap to submit to Google for better crawling through my website.

I have a date column in MYSQL database and I want the xml tag <lastmod> to contain date fetched from MYSQL database in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD format.

Example

If MYSQL query returns 2015-07-29 , I want this to be printed in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD format . However, I don't have a time column in database and I want it to be set to 12 am according to timezone of India. I've tried to do so but get incompatible date format error.

Answer 1

Working with timezones in PHP is pretty easy. Below follows an example:

// Create a new DateTime object
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01', new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));

// Output
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "\n";

// Change timezone
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Chatham'));

// Output again
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "\n";
