Answer 2

You can use the moment.js library.

var a = "Wed Oct 08 2014 07:40:00 GMT 0530 (India Standard Time)";
var b = moment(a).zone(0).format(YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss);

Answer 3

I personally would transform your time with the time() -function to the unix format amd with then with date() back to your liking:

http://php.net/manual/de/function.date.php

ig: date('Ymd H:i:s',time()) would give you the momentary time in the desired format.

edit: I forget the damn '...', but I corrected that. The accepted answer ist correct and a little bit better than mine.
