php- How to create a loop for this code

Question

How can I use loop (for, forEach, while etc.) to the following part of code. Here "tarray" is an array of 10 values. The part of the code :

$string = $tarray[0];
$datetime = strtotime($string);
$datetime1 = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetime);
list($year, $month, $day, $hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode('-', $datetime1);

$string = $tarray[1];
$datetimea = strtotime($stringa);
$datetime2 = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetimea);
list($year, $month, $day, $hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode('-', $datetime2);

I want to write this only once instead of declaring multiple variables.

what you want to do with this code... echo it..? Add in New array or what...Please elaborate... — GYaN, Nov 10 '17 at 10:33
Show us the loop you have tried so far and tell us what doesn't work there — B001ᛦ, Nov 10 '17 at 10:34

@GyandeepSharma I am repeating the same code again and again. So I want to convert it into a loop that will generate an array of "datetime" values — Delegate, Nov 10 '17 at 10:42

1. It wont work with your date format. You need to use the character '-' that you use in the explode throughout like date("Y-m-d-H-i-s", $datetimea) else your list command will generate errors like it did when you tested it :) — TimBrownlaw, Nov 10 '17 at 10:45

I think you want like this:-

$date_array = [];
foreach($tarray as $tar){
    $datetime1 = date("Y-m-d-H-i-s",strtotime($tar));
    $date_array[] = array_combine(['year', 'month', 'day', 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds'], explode('-', $datetime1));
}

Note:- you can use list($year, $month, $day, $hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode('-', $datetime1); also there without any issue.

Thanks dude. Thats almost what I was looking for. Just tell me 'How can I print array of "datetime1"' – Delegate Nov 10 '17 at 10:48
@user8467658 `print_r($date_array[0])` – Alive to die - Anant Nov 10 '17 at 10:49
@Alive to Die :- How can I store "$datetime1" values in "$date_array". I tried 'array_push'but it is showing as a single value. – Delegate Nov 10 '17 at 11:41
`$date_array[] =$datetime1; ` – Alive to die - Anant Nov 10 '17 at 11:41
It is generating output like: example-['value']. But I want like : example-['value0','value1',....]. If possible can you show me demo output for "$date_array[] =$datetime1;]" – Delegate Nov 10 '17 at 11:47
@user8467658 i am unable to get you. Either show me correct output and what you want exactly or ask a new question regarding this. You will get answer for-sure. – Alive to die - Anant Nov 10 '17 at 11:49
Can you show me a code output demo for " $date_array[]=$datetime1; " similar to what you displayed in answer. "Demo output:-https://eval.in/897156" – Delegate Nov 10 '17 at 11:52

Use foreach loop like that:

$arr = ['Hello', 'world', 'John'];
foreach($arr as $string) {
    echo $string;
}

So in your case:

foreach($tarray as $string) {
    $datetime = strtotime($string);
    $datetime1 = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $datetime);
    list($year, $month, $day, $hours, $minutes, $seconds) = explode('-', $datetime1);
}
