php - Get UTC from another timezone with Carbon

Question

How do I get the UTC date with Carbon if I use another timezone?

$timestamp = '2014-02-06 16:34:00';
Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp)->timezone('Europe/Stockholm');

I create with a Europe/Stockholm timezone. How do I get the UTC date from that (2014-02-06 15:34)?

Answer 1

You can change the timezone with this:

$timestamp = '2014-02-06 16:34:00';
$date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp, 'Europe/Stockholm');
$date->setTimezone('UTC');
