How does plaintext NSDate work?

Question

I put it in plist and got this in plain text:

2010-11-03T16: 37: 09Z

So my guess is:

2010-11-03 => Nov 3, 2010

T => time (?)

16:37:09 => 4.37: 09PM

Z =>? no idea

I want to recreate this in a php file that displays the time and date? I just want to make sure that I just copy the same as above, but leave T and Z to work?

thank

This is the ISO 8601 formatting (UTC, Combined):

You can use NSDateFormatter (iOS) or date_format / date (PHP) to reformat the date before using it.
