PHP Issues with DateTime in array from JIRA api

I'm trying to get data out of JIRA and into a table. I have got the API request working and I have got almost all the data out of JIRA and into the table that I need, I just can't seem to get the created date out as it is in a datetime object within the array and doesn't have a proper format.



    foreach ($ret->issues as $issue)
{
$date = new DateTime($issue->fields->created->date);
$date = $date->format('Y-m-d');
echo '<tr>
<td>'.$issue->fields->status->name.'</td>
<td>'.$date.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->priority->name.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->summary.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->assignee->displayName.'</td>
</tr>';
}


That is the PHP code for building the table, as you can see I've tried to format it with DateTime.



Here is the array if I die on $issue->fields->created



    object(DateTime)#318 (3) {
["date"]=>
string(26) "2018-10-22 12:47:02.000000"
["timezone_type"]=>
int(1)
["timezone"]=>
string(6) "-04:00"
}


I just can't seem to get that data out as $issue->fields->created->date shows me:



PHP Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type DateTime as array


Which is why I tried to format it as above. Now I get:



PHP Notice:  Undefined property: DateTime::$date


Any ideas?

  • $date = $issue->fields->created; ? It appears to already be a DateTime object.

  • It does, I need to use that data but I don't know how to.

  • Looks like you could just use $issue->fields->created->format('Y-m-d') inside your echo

  • @rickdenhaan, please set that as the answer and I will vote for it! I had tried this method but I did $issue->fields->created->date->format('Y-m-d') which failed.

  • I've voted for that, thanks very much! can I use the timezone to get it to display in UTC at the same time?

$issue->fields->created is already a DateTime object. To format that as Y-m-d format, you can simply call format() on that directly:



echo '<tr>
<td>'.$issue->fields->status->name.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->created->format('Y-m-d').'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->priority->name.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->summary.'</td>
<td>'.$issue->fields->assignee->displayName.'</td>
</tr>';


If you want to convert it to a different timezone, you can do that as well:



$issue->fields->created->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"))->format('Y-m-d')
