ISO 8601 date format for microformats

Aupajo (Pete) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:03:22 GMT

Strftime to get the ISO 8601 (see RFC 3339) full date format for an hEvent Microformat. Doubtless usable in other situations.



strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z');

If you're in Ruby, you can access this the quick way with:



$ irb

>> require 'time'

=> true

>> Time.now.iso8601

=> "2008-07-09T16:13:30+12:00"

Rails example:



<%= event.start_date.to_s(:long) %>
