mysql2date( string $format, string $date, bool $translate = true ): string|int|false

Converts given MySQL date string into a different format.

Contents

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.
