DATETIME / timezone?

Question

I am using this to store DATETIME in mysql

validation.php

//more code
$date = new DateTime("2012-01-01 23:59:59", new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris'));
$dt = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

//and I am posting into my DATETIME field:

Insert...Value($dt)

1.. I get no errors but the date/time posted is 0000-00-00 00-00-00

What am I doing wrong?

2.. Is there a way to store date formatted as DD-MM-YYYY?

Answer 1

您可以在存储到数据库之前使用PHP设置时区

$date = new DateTime("2012-07-05 16:43:21", new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris')); 

Answer 2

You have to post

$var_date = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') 

not directly $date

Answer 3

Did it... Correct syntax is:

$date = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('Europe/Paris')); 
$dt = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP');
