PHP Timestamp To HTML 5 Input Type=datetime Element

I have a unix timestamp (int) in PHP. I want to display this value in a nice manner in the HTML5 datetime input element. I would like to be able to have users see this value in a n

Solution 1:

HTML5 Input time is something like this : 1985-04-12T23:20:50.52

You can do that in PHP like this :

echo date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s");

Output

2012-10-02T19:12:49

HTML with Timestamp

<input type="datetime"  value="<?php echo date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s",$timestamp); ?>"/>

Solution 2:

The other examples are both the old way to produce a valid timeStamp format for the TIME element -- the new hotness in php:

<time><?php echo date(DATE_W3C); ?></time>

That will generate a format like:

"2013-05-19T06:40:08+00:00"

Solution 3:

According to the HTML5 Specification for input type="datetime", it should be as simple as setting the value attribute.

value="<?php echo date('c', $timestamp); ?>"

See PHP's date() function for additional formatters.

Solution 4:

Datetime doesn't work for me on chrome, datetime-local allows me to choose date and time from popup.

example

<input type="datetime-local" name="xyz" value="<?php echo date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s",time()); ?>"/>

time() functions is not relevant ,I am using it to make it easy for user to choose from current.. time after or before.
