In my postgresql, the I have the following column named "created" that has the type timestamp with timezone
So I inserted the record according to the format as such which I believe is UTC.
2015-10-02 09:09:35+08
I am using php Carbon library so i did the following:
$date = Carbon\Carbon::parse('2015-10-02 09:09:35+08');
echo $date->->toDatetimeString();
//gives result as 2015-10-02 09:09:35
How can I use the library to echo the correct timezone which includes the adding of the +8 in the above datetime format? The timzezone that I am using is "Asia/Singapore".
The time should be printed to local timing which is 2015-10-02: 17:09:35:
You can do this using native php without using Carbon:
$time = '2015-10-02 16:34:00+08';
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s+O', $time);
print $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . PHP_EOL;
$date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('Asia/Singapore'));
print $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . PHP_EOL;
$date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('Etc/UTC'));
print $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . PHP_EOL;
