how to convert each format into array

    I have got a problem with my PHP and I need your urgent help. I have the list of 3 urls where I'm sending the request to each url to get the hours so I will convert it to format.

    Example: I will get the hours of 7:30 AM, so I will convert them into this 20140426073000, for 9:30AM i will convert it to 20140426093000.

    For Url one input:

    
    7:30 AM
    9:30 AM
    
    Code (markup):
    For Url two input:

    
    9:00 AM
    11:00 AM
    
    Code (markup):
    For Url three input:

    
    9:00 AM
    10:00 AM
    
    Code (markup):
    In that way, when I send the request to each url to get the hours and converting the hours into format, I will get the three same input of format when I run through the loops.

    Here is the input:

    
    2014042607300020140426093000
    
    2014042607300020140426093000
    
    2014042607300020140426093000
    
    Code (markup):

    It should be looks like this:

    
    
    2014042607300020140426093000
    
    2014042600900020140426011000
    
    2014042609000020140426100000
    
    
    Code (markup):

    Here is the code:

    
    <?php
    ini_set('max_execution_time',300);
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag =false;
    include ('simple_html_dom.php');function getState($string){
    $ex = explode(" ",$string);return $ex[1];}
    $xml .='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>';
    $xml .= '
    <tvgenerator-info-name="www.mysite.com/xmltv">';
    $base1 = "http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php";
    $html = file_get_html($base1);
    $i = 0;
    $count = 0;
    foreach($html->find('p[id=links]') as $element)
    {
    $program_list[ $count ] = array();
    $id_split = explode("?", $element->plaintext);
    $id_split = explode("&", $link_split[1]);
    $channels = explode("channels=",$id_split[0]);
    $channels = $channels[1];
    $id = explode("id=",$id_split[1]);
    $id = $id[1];
    //channels
    //$channel_test = $html->find('p[id=channels]', 10)->plaintext;
    //echo $channel_test;
    $program_list[$count]['channels'] = $channels;
    $program_list[$count]['id'] = $id;
    $channels_split = explode("?", $element->plaintext);
    $channels_split = explode("&", $channels_split[1]);
    $channel_id = explode("channels=",$channels_split[0]);
    $channel_id = $channel_id[1];
    $my_id = explode("id=",$channels_split[1]);
    $my_id = $my_id[1];
    $channel = urlencode($channel_id);
    $id_1 = urlencode($my_id);
    $html_two = file_get_html("http://www.mysite.com/get-listing.php?channels=" . $channel . "&id=" . $my_id);
    $time1 = $html_two->find('span[id=time1]',0)->plaintext;
    $time2 = $html_two->find('span[id=time2]',0)->plaintext;
    $time3 = $html_two->find('span[id=time3]',0)->plaintext;
    $array = array(
    $time1,
    $time2,
    $time3,
    );
    // Save the output format
    $DATE_FORMAT_STRING = "YmdHis";
    // GET the current STAGE
    $current_state = getState($array[0]);
    $offset = 0;
    foreach($array as $time)
    {
    // Get the item state.
    $this_state = getState($time);
    // check if we past a day?
    if($current_state == "PM" && $this_state == "AM")
    {
    $offset++;
    }
    $this_unix = strtotime($time) + (60 * 60 * 24 * $offset);
    $values[] = date($DATE_FORMAT_STRING, $this_unix);
    //echo date($DATE_FORMAT_STRING, $this_unix);
    //echo "<br></br>";
    }
    echo $values[0];
    echo "<br>";
    echo $values[1];
    echo "<br></br>";
    $current_state = $this_state;
    }
    ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    When I tried to get the time for each url that I send request to convert to format, I will get the same input of format when I run through the loops. Do you know how I can get each different format when I send the request to each url to covert the time into format?

    Can you post just the code that handles the data. All that extra xml stuff just confuses the issue. In your first post you give 3 different inputs (but they're the same format) and then you start talking about inputs again which are long date strings.
