Php 日期时间转换为 ISO 8601

Question

I have an app that would call an Amazon api, the datetime requirements should be an ISO 8601 format. I tried the Carbon like

   'data_startTime' => 'nullable|date_format:Y-m-d H:i:s',

   Carbon::parse($request->data_startTime)->toIso8601String()

The example data_startTime

  2019-12-10 20:11:24

Which resulted to

   2019-12-10T20:11:24+00:00

But per Amazon's requirement, it will just reject that param and will throw error What Amazon required is the format should like this

    2019-12-10T20:11:24.000Z

How to achieve that using Carbon or any Php DateTime class?

Answer 1

One solution is to use the DateTime class, select the time zone "Z" and generate the desired format with the method of the same name.

$start = '2019-12-10 20:11:24';

$strDate = date_create($start,new DateTimeZone('Z'))->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.ve');

echo $strDate;  //2019-12-10T20:11:24.000Z

Answer 2

If microsecond-precision is OK, toJSON might be the cleanest option:

echo Carbon::parse('2019-12-10 20:11:24')->toJSON();

Note that if you already JSON encode the body you send, it will just be handled automatically:

echo json_encode([
  'date' => Carbon::parse('2019-12-10 20:11:24')
]);
