Example #1 MongoDate::toDateTime() example

This example demonstrates creating a DateTime object from a MongoDate object.

<?php$d = new MongoDate(strtotime("2014-11-18 11:01:25"));var_dump( $d->toDateTime() );?>

The above example will output something similar to:

class DateTime#2 (3) {
  public $date =>
  string(26) "2014-11-18 11:01:25.000000"
  public $timezone_type =>
  int(1)
  public $timezone =>
  string(6) "+00:00"
}
