Convert String (ISO) to Date PHP

I am trying to convert a string to a date in PHP. The string I receive is formatted:-

"2016-07-16T1:22:04.324+1030"

OR 

"2016-12-20T03:24:59.000Z"

When I try this 

$newDate = DateTime::createFromFormat("c", $exp);
$expirationDate = $newFormat->getTimestamp();

DateTime fails. Even when I try 

$newDate = DateTime::createFromFormat(ISO8601, $exp;
$expirationDate = $newFormat->getTimestamp();

DateTime still fails.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Though I am answering this question much later than the question was asked, I feel that following points will help substantiate the answers already provided.

Important points to keep in mind while using strtotime function:

1. Year is in two digit: If year is specified in the string in two digit, then values between 00-69 are mapped to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999. Possible difference may arise in 32 bit.

2. Use of Separator: Unexpected output may arise with the use of separator. The separator slash ("/") will indicate PHP that date is in American Format i.e. m/d/y. While the separator dash or dot ("-" or ".") will let PHP will assume European format i.e. d-m-y. Further, if the year is specified in two digit with a dash separator then PHP will assume it as y-m-d format.

3. Timestamp Range: The Typical valid timestamp ranges from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC which represent the minimum and maximum 32 bit signed integer. However for a 64 bit version of PHP, valid range of a timestamp is virtually infinite.

4. Checking if string is a valid timestamp: The string supplied as parameter in strtotime function can provide different result with different version. PHP earlier than 5.1.0 will return -1 on failure while later version will return false

You can try like this:-

<?php

$time = "2016-07-16T1:22:04.324+1030";

echo date("d M, Y",strtotime(date($time)));

?>

Output:- 16 Jul, 2016 :- https://eval.in/594695

Reference taken:-

Converting ISO 8601 format to d M Y in PHP

Note:- you can change format of date according to your convenience. like D M d Y h:i:s O T . I checked this code on PHP 5.5.4 , PHP 5.5.14, PHP 7

$dateval="2016-07-16T1:22:04.324+1030";
$dateval=str_replace("T"," T",$dateval);

$date = new DateTime($dateval);
echo $date->format('D M d Y h:i:s O T');//outputs your given time
echo "<br />";

or

echo date("D M d Y h:i:s O T",strtotime($dateval));//outputs your based on your timezone time

Hope it wll help

The date format you were passing over here is not the one that you were comparing within your function it should be like as

$exp = "2016-07-16T1:22:04.324+1030";
$newDate = DateTime::createFromFormat("Y-m-d\TG:i:s.uO",$exp);
echo $newDate->format("Y-m-d H:i:s O");//2016-07-16 01:22:04 +1030
