php - How to format Beijing time into 2012-08-24T14:02:15-04:00

Question

Currently we only know that DATE_ATOM formatted into UTC is 2012-08-24T14:02:15 00:00. How can the latter offset be generated through a function? ? ? ?

Answer 1

The last -04:00 is the offset between the current time zone and the UTC standard time zone.

If you set the time zone (such as Beijing), then the offset (+08:00) East Eighth District

date("P"); // 显示时区偏移量

---

Your -04:00 indicates that the time zone set is -04:00 (West 4th District)

Answer 2

Excerpted from PHP documentation:
http://php.net/manual/en/func...

You can use date('O') or date('P'), depending on what format you need.
