[FIXED] How to convert any time zone into UTC using Laravel

Issue

I want to convert the user's time, eg. 08:45 P.M, to UTC time zone. How can I do that?

if ($request->open_at)
{
  $time = Carbon::parse($request->open_at)->toUTCString();
  dd($time);
  $query->whereTime('open_at', '>=', $time);
}

Solution

Use this PHP approach:

$time = new DateTime("08:45 P.M");
$time ->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
echo $time ->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e");
