I don't know about timezones . Just I'm making the datetime format. Please update the solutions or suggest. Thanks for every one!

Your expected output does not make sense to me, because line nogad mentioned, the seconds and minutes change. Please clarify. Meanwhile here the conversion format you wanted:

$datestr = 'Wed Oct 12 14:40:50 PDT 2016';
$dt = new DateTime($datestr);
echo $dt->format("Y-m-d\ H:i:s O");

Output is:

2016-10-12 14:40:50 -0700
