How to convert different time zone date & time to GMT time in php

I have following date formats

$date_format1 = "Sat, 31 May 2014 00:00:00 +0200";
$date_format2 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:00:00 -0400";
$date_format3 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:03:00 BST";
$date_format4 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:03:00 EDT";

What will be the PHP code to convert all above formats at GMT. Note: I required only single(If possible) function to handle all above format.

The gmdate() function will output the date/time in GMT and the strtotime() function will convert your datetime strings to a valid parameter for gmdate().

$date_format1 = "Sat, 31 May 2014 00:00:00 +0200";
$date_format2 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:00:00 -0400";
$date_format3 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 11:03:00 BST";
$date_format4 = "Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:03:00 EDT";


$newFormat = 'd/m/Y H:i:s';


echo gmdate($newFormat, strtotime($date_format1)) . PHP_EOL;
echo gmdate($newFormat, strtotime($date_format2)) . PHP_EOL;
echo gmdate($newFormat, strtotime($date_format3)) . PHP_EOL;
echo gmdate($newFormat, strtotime($date_format4)) . PHP_EOL;

And the results would be:-

30/05/2014 22:00:00
02/06/2014 18:00:00
02/06/2014 10:03:00
02/06/2014 14:03:00

This exactly gives GMT time:

gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime ('+1 hour'))

The PHP function strtotime (string $time) can be used to convert the text part of, say, $date_format1 to a timestamp that can be used in the gmstrftime() function, so:

gmdate("<insert_date_format_here>", strtotime($date_format1));

See Date Formats and Time Formats from the PHP documentation.
