Answer 1

Try it:

<input type="datetime-local"  value="<?php $row['Time'] = preg_replace("/\s/",'T',$row['Time']); echo $row['Time']?>" class="date" name="start" REQUIRED>

Answer 2

This will convert datetime from database to datetime-local

str_replace(" ","T",substr_replace($string ,"", -3))

Answer 3

None of the above solutions worked for me as of 2019 using Google Chrome Version 78.0.3904.70 (Official Build) (64-bit)

What worked for me is.

<input type="datetime-local" value="2017-06-13T13:00">

As you can see the format is 2017-06-13T13:00 or Y-m-dTH:i.

As of PHP you can do like.

<input type="datetime-local" value="<?php echo Date('Y-m-d\TH:i',time()) ?>">

Hope this will save someone's time. :)

Answer 4

Better use timezone feature

function getCurrentDateTime(){
    $date = new DateTime();
    $date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('GMT+6')); //Time Zone GMT +6
    $dt= $date->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s');
    return $dt;
}
