PHP Timezone display using format method

Question

please tell me how can i print data and time in this format using php 2014-03-011T20:34:01Z

i tried this code

$date = new DateTime();
$date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

and get something like that 2014-03-11 20:13:20 close enough but not exactly 2014-03-011T20:34:01Z

Use the c format to get close:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->format('c');
// 2014-03-11T07:55:34+00:00

Or just add the T and Z yourself. Make sure you escape them as they are valid formatting parameters:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z');
// 2014-03-11T07:56:07Z

What you are looking for is this

$date = Date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z');
