note 74930 added to function.date-format

The ISO8601 output format doesn't jive with (at least) what eBay expects in its SOAP transactions. eBay wants a UTC time with a 'Z' suffix. That is, eBay (and I'm guessing other web services) will accept "2007-05-04T17:01:17Z" but not "2007-05-04T17:01:17+0000". As it is, the built-in DateTime::ISO8601 format uses the +0000 timezone specifier even when in a UTC timezone. As a workaround, I do this: function get_ebay_UTC_8601(DateTime $time) { $t = clone $time; $t->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC")); return $t->format("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z"); } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.164.94.41 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-format.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74930 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74930 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74930 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
