Converting a date to another format

The provided PHP code demonstrates how to convert a date from one format to another. It starts by defining the old and new date formats, then retrieves the current date in the old format. A new DateTime object is created using the old format, and this object is used to convert the date to the new format.

// Old format
$dateTimeFormat['old'] = 'Y-m-d H:i:s';

// New format
$dateTimeFormat['new'] = 'd.m.Y H:i';

// Current date
$currentDate = date($dateTimeFormat['old']);

// Create new dateTime
$dateNewFormat = DateTime::createFromFormat($dateTimeFormat['old'], $currentDate);

// Convert format
$newDate = $dateNewFormat->format($dateTimeFormat['new']);

print_r($currentDate);

print_r($newDate);

// Old format
2025-01-22 10:00:00

// New format
22.01.2025 10:00
