Is there any way I can return a date using PHP that is the same format that Date.UTC(y,m,d) returns?
Here is an example of the format I need:
1274745600000 (Apr 25, 2010)

PHP:
$date = '13-09-2010 00:00:00';
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo (strtotime($date) * 1000) - (strtotime('02-01-1970 00:00:00') * 1000);
//1286928000000
Javascript:
Date.UTC(2010, 9, 13);
//1286928000000

is there any idea how to get it froom Carbon package?
[EDITed]:
The way it returns OUTPUT is the milliseconds from January 1, 1970 to July 8, 2005, according to universal time: which you can get by mktime and appending three 0 like this:
echo mktime(0, 0, 0, 9, 15, 2010).'000';
This will display:
1284508800000
And you can use date function to get in JS UTC INPUT format:
echo date("Y,n,j");
This will display:
2010,9,15

The UTC() method returns the number of milliseconds in a date string since midnight of January 1, 1970, according to universal time.

I'm trying to return a date in JS UTC format directly from PHP so I don't have to convert it using JS. Is this possible?

Yes, using
mktime (the first method), it is possible. It returns the data in UTC format. Try it.Ian McIntyre Silber
@shamittormar mktime() returns SECONDS. Date.UTC() returns milliseconds in a slightly different format.
Inside your function use
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
This set the default timezone to use. Available since PHP 5.1.And you can simply echo date by date() function.
