Answer 1

Old thread, but I couldn't resist posting the obvious 'brute-force' solution:

If your SQL date-time string format is always given as in your example, and you don't want to use date-time functions/classes, you can do the following:

$mysql_datetime = "2011-01-06 09:39:114525";
list($date, $time) = explode(' ', $mysql_datetime);
list($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $date);
list($hr, $min, $sec) = explode(':', $time);
$sec = (int)substr($sec, 0, 2);

The values you want are now available in the following variables: $year, $month, $day, $hr, $min, $sec.

Answer 2

I would like to suggest one more cleaner way. And this can be achieved without on any library or framework.

First, you should convert the datetime string to a timestamp (strtotime works on almost every format). Then using getdate as follows :

$dateAsTimestamp = strtotime("2011-01-06 09:39:11.45");
$dateTime = getdate($dateAsTimestamp);

The function returns all components of date and time as an associative array.

Array
(
    [seconds] => 11
    [minutes] => 39
    [hours] => 9
    [mday] => 6
    [wday] => 4
    [mon] => 1
    [year] => 2011
    [yday] => 5
    [weekday] => Thursday
    [month] => January
    [0] => 1294306751
)

Now can be accessed as per your requirement

echo($dateTime['hours']);
echo($dateTime['minutes']);
echo($dateTime['seconds']);

$MONTH = $dateTime['month'];

$dt = Carbon::now();
$dt->timestamp = strtotime($mysqlVarDatetime); //like '2017-01-31 07:19:11' string cad

it can be result in:

var_dump($dt->year);                                         // int(2017)
var_dump($dt->month);                                        // int(1)
var_dump($dt->day);                                          // int(31)
var_dump($dt->hour);                                         // int(7)
var_dump($dt->minute);                                       // int(19)
var_dump($dt->second);                                       // int(11)

Best way to use DateTime class

$my_sql_date = '2011-01-06 09:39:11';
$date_time = new DateTime($my_sql_date);
echo $date_time->format('Y').PHP_EOL;
echo $date_time->format('m').PHP_EOL;
echo $date_time->format('d').PHP_EOL;
echo $date_time->format('h').PHP_EOL;
echo $date_time->format('i').PHP_EOL;
echo $date_time->format('s');

Answer 5

In MySQL, just do MONTH(date), YEAR(date), etc. In PHP, you can do date('g', strtotime($datefromsql)) to get, for example, the 12-hour format hour from the date.

So in your above example, you could either do

SELECT YEAR(date), 
       MONTH(date), 
       DAYOFMONTH(date), 
       HOUR(date), 
       MINUTE(date), 
       SECOND(date)

or in PHP,

$time = strtotime($datefromsql);
echo date('Y', $time);
echo date('m', $time);
echo date('d', $time);
echo date('h', $time);
echo date('i', $time);
echo date('s', $time);
