how can I create a new Date object in jquery based on the date object returned from php?

Question

I have a php script that returns date in tokyo in a following format:

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 06:10:09 +0900

I already passed it to my jquery script with ajax and now store it in local variable

var myTime = 'Thu, 01 Oct 2015 06:10:09 +0900

Now I want to create a new Date() object with that data, so then I can have an actual date from tokyo on my webpage without using local client's timezone. How can I do that?

Answer 1

If your PHP code returns just that string:

<?PHP echo "Thu, 01 Oct 2015 06:10:09 +0900"; ?>

Then in your jQuery ajax return:

function(data) 
{
    var myDate = new Date(data.trim());
    //...
}//..
