mysql2date()

mysql2date() — Converts given MySQL date string into a different format. $format should be a PHP date format string. ‘U’ and ‘G’ formats will return an integer sum of timestamp with timezone offset. $date is expected to be local time in MySQL format (Y-m-d H:i:s). Historically UTC time could be passed to the function to produce Unix timestamp. If $translate is true then the given date and format string will be passed to wp_date() for translation.

Inputs: $format (string): Format of the date to return. $date (string): Date string to convert. $translate (bool): Whether the return date should be translated. Default true.

Returns string|int|false: Integer if $format is ‘U’ or ‘G’, string otherwise. False on failure.
