Question

I’m trying to create a DateTime from the following string:

2012-02-16 00:45:54.441899

I tried with this format, without success:

Y-m-d H:i:s.*

What can I do? I don’t care about the part after the dot.

Answer 1

you forgot the microsecond part of the format:

$s = '2012-02-16 00:45:54.441899';
$d = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s.u', $s);//format looks like your string
echo $d->format('Ymd');//output format can be whatever you like
