Use PHP to create timestamp in specific format

Question

Is there a name for the timestamp format below? How would I go about using PHP to reproduce the time and date now in the same format?

2012-11-15T17:30:47-05:00

Thanks

I believe that is an ISO 8601 time format. – Brad Jul 09 '13 at 15:44 — Brad, Jul 09 '13 at 15:44

ISO 8601 format was added to the date() function in PHP 5 so you can use:

date('c');
