I want to get current date and time in the above format. How do I do this in PHP?

Googling "php date format" brings up php.net/manual/en/function.date.php as the first hit — Pekka

From which value do you want to convert? Actual date? Stored value in some variable? — Fran Verona

I belive the answer is:

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
