Re: How to insert : and - into timestamp string from IoT device?

Here are two ways: <?php $timeraw = '221216085802'; $datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('ymdHis', $timeraw); print $datetime->format('y-m-d H:i:s'); print "\n"; print $timeraw[0] . $timeraw[1] . '-' . $timeraw[2] . $timeraw[3] . '-' . $timeraw[4] . $timeraw[5] . ' ' . $timeraw[6] . $timeraw[7] . ':' . $timeraw[8] . $timeraw[9] . ':' . $timeraw[10] . $timeraw[11]; Regards, Janis ________________________________ No: Bo Berglund <bo.berglund@gmail.com> Nosūtīts: piektdiena, 2022. gada 16. decembris 10:23 Kam: php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Tēma: How to insert : and - into timestamp string from IoT device? I have an Arduino IoT device which reads data from an electricity meter and posts to a website database through a web call to a php script on my webserver. THis works fine and the timestamp gets into the database as expected. However it is hard to read so I want to add separators before storing onto the database. The timestamp retrieved from the meter looks like this example: 221216085802 It is sent by adding parameter &timestamp=221216085802 to a get call to the php script. In php on the webserver before I store it into the database I want to convert it to a more readable format so it looks like this: 22-12-16 08:58:02 How can I do this in php code? I.e insert two - one space and two : into the string at given positions -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
