convert Json date into PHP date formate?

How we convert2016-03-01T03:00:00Z this date format like 

2016-03-01T03:00:00Z

into 01/02/2016 03:00 AM

also maintaining the timezone information.

One method is to explode the string with "T" character but problem into the 'AM' and 'PM' specification.

I think we must consider the timezone ('maintaining the timezone information'). If default timezone different from the time string's timezone, the result will not correct.Just like this case:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Shanghai'); 
$a = '2016-03-01T03:00:00Z';
echo date("d/m/Y H:i A",strtotime($a));
?>

the result is 01/03/2016 11:00 AM

The time formate is ISO 8601,it will contain the timezone.

This is my code:

<?php
$a = '2016-03-01T03:00:00Z';
$tmpTime = explode('T',$a);
$resutTime = implode('/',array_reverse(explode('-',$tmpTime[0]))).' '.substr($tmpTime[1],0,5).' '.(intval(substr($tmpTime[1],0,2)) < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM');
echo $resutTime;
?>

You need date with strtotime : 

<?php
$a = "2016-03-01T03:00:00Z";
echo date("d/m/Y H:i A",strtotime($a));

?>
