Correct date format for publication date youtube api

Getting the following error when I try to put the date in the follwing format:

date_format(date_create($this->output->publication_date), 'Y-m-d H:i:s');

"Invalid value for: Invalid format: \"2015-04-14 00:00:00\" is malformed at \" 00:00:00\"

"Invalid value for: Invalid format: \"2015-04-14 00:00:00\" is malformed at \" 00:00:00\"

What is the correct format that is needed to set the publication date when uploading a video to youtube?

According to the youtube api the format should be 

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sZ

How to do this correctly in PHP?

You need to use the ISO 8601 format, see here for the correct selector.

As example, you can use it in your code as follow:

$date = date_create($this->output->publication_date);
$formatted = $date->format('c');

or

date_format(date_create($this->output->publication_date), 'Y-m-d\TH:i:s.Z\Z');

hope this help
