You can use the format method of the DateTime class    date   new DateTime  2000-01-01     result    date- gt format  Y-m-d H i s      If format fails for some reason  it will return FALSE  In some applications  it might make sense to handle the failing case   if   result      echo  result    else      format failed   echo  Unknown Time

The simplest way I found is    date     new DateTime      this returns the current date time  result    date- gt format  Y-m-d-H-i-s    echo  result     lt br gt     krr      explode  -    result    result   implode      krr   echo  result    I hope it helps
