Ebay API ISO 8601 duration format to timestamp

Question

Ebay API provides me time in ISO 8601.

For example, it gives me item time left: P0DT0H1M4S Here is how this time is formatted: ebay duration

I want to convert this time to simple Y-m-d H:i:s format. So far I've tried date("Y-m-d", strtotime("P0DT0H1M4S")); but it does not work.

Answer 1

That date interval string is an ISO 8601 duration specification and can be use with DateTime() and DateInterval()

$date = new DateTime();
$date->add(new DateInterval('P0DT0H1M4S'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

or as a one-liner (PHP 5.4+)

echo (new DateTime())->add(new DateInterval('P0DT0H1M4S'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
