[objective-C]setDateFormat

NSDateFormatter *formatter =  [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"];   //12hours
[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];   //24hours

NSTimeZone* timeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"Asia/Shanghai"];
[formatter setTimeZone:timeZone];
NSString *loctime = [formatter stringFromDate:date];
[formatter release];

若需要至毫秒：

[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSS"];
