What is a Date() Function?
|
|
Explanation |
|
The "Date()" function returns a string in the specified format for a date and time.
Syntax:
date(format,timestamp)
In the above syntax "format" is used to specify the format of the date and time to be returned, "timestamp" is an optional field.
Example:
<?php
echo date("Y/m/d");
echo "<br/>";
echo date("Y.m.d");
echo "<br/>";
echo date("Y-m-d");
?>
Result:
2012/05/25
2012.05.25
2012-05-25
In the above example the function will display, the current date in different formats, and "y" for the current year, "m" for the month(1-12), "d" for the date(1-31).
