php - can't convert date from string

Question

I want to get this date's timestamp from string. I'm trying:

DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d", "2015-05-18T23:45:21.604Z");

But it returns nothing. I don't know which format is this.

Just look up the format specifiers: php.net/manual/de/function.date.php — Rizier123

you might wanna check this: stackoverflow.com/questions/6238992/… The first answer splits the process in two pices. With that the debugging should be easier. — DocRattie

the problem is I don't know the format. I can use substr() to get only first chars from date string, but guess this is not the correct way to do this — anderlaini

try this,

$date = date_create_from_format('d/M/Y:H:i:s', '2015-05-18T23:45:21.604Z');
$date->getTimestamp();
