Converts given MySQL date string into a different format.

Description

• $format should be a PHP date format string.
  • ‘U’ and ‘G’ formats will return an integer sum of timestamp with timezone offset.
  • $date is expected to be local time in MySQL format (Y-m-d H:i:s).

Historically UTC time could be passed to the function to produce Unix timestamp.

If $translate is true then the given date and format string will be passed to wp_date() for translation.

Parameters

$formatstringrequired

Format of the date to return.

$datestringrequired

Date string to convert.

$translatebooloptional

Source

function mysql2date( $format, $date, $translate = true ) {
	if ( empty( $date ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$timezone = wp_timezone();
	$datetime = date_create( $date, $timezone );

	if ( false === $datetime ) {
		return false;
	}

	// Returns a sum of timestamp with timezone offset. Ideally should never be used.
	if ( 'G' === $format || 'U' === $format ) {
		return $datetime->getTimestamp() + $datetime->getOffset();
	}

	if ( $translate ) {
		return wp_date( $format, $datetime->getTimestamp(), $timezone );
	}

	return $datetime->format( $format );
}
