what kind of time format is this one

I came cross and string of timestamp, not quite sure what kind of format is it:

2011-04-20T17:04:55.678+00:00

also i 开发者_运维问答need to specify PST time in the same format, how can i do that? Thanks.

It is an ISO 8601. If you are using Wordpress you can convert it using

<?php iso8601_to_datetime( $date_string, $timezone ) ?>

where $date_string is your ISO time.

If you are not, use strtotime($var)

ISO_8601 (or a variant therof)

Looks like ISO 8601.
