PHP - format date ISO8601?
I have a year (2002) and I'm trying to get it into the following format: 2002-00-00T00:00:00 I tried various iterations, the last of which was this: $testdate = DateTime::createFromFormat(DateTime::ISO8601, date("c")) echo date_format($testdate, '2002'); But, even if I come close, it always seems to add +00:00 to the end of it... The 'c' format in PHP always appends the timezone offset. You can't avoid that. But you can build the date yourself from components: date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s', $testdate); date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z', time() - date('Z')); Best way is to use constants (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7) date
