PHP Date-format Date
The date () function in the first argument specifies how the date/time is formatted. It uses the letter-represented date and time format. Here are some letters that can be used to:

Buckle-one months of the day (January 3 1st)
M--The current one months, as a number (0 1-12)
Y-year in four digits
An overview of all the letters that can be used for format parameters can be found in our PHP date range.

Other characters, such as "/", ". "or"-"can also be inserted between the letters, add additional formatting:
    
 
    

    

    
 
    
<?php
echo Date ("y/m/d");
echo "<br/>";
echo Date ("Y.M.D");
echo "<br/>";
echo Date ("y-m-d");
? >
 
    
The output is as follows.
 
    
 
    
2006/07/11
2006.07.11
2006-07-11
 
    
 
    
 
      
      
 
       
       
 PHP Date-add timestamp 
 the date () function in the second argument specifies a time stamp. This parameter is optional. If you do not provide a time, the current time will be used. 
 
 In our next example we will use the Mktime () function to create a time stamp tomorrow. 
 
 The Mktime () function returns a UNIX timestamp of a specific date. 
 
 Syntax 
 
       
       
 mktime (HOUR,MINUTE,SECOND,MONTH,DAY,YEAR,IS_DST) 
 
       
       
   
 
       
       
 
        
        
 
         
         
 Go to the future of the day, we just add one day argument mktime (): 
 
         
         
 <?php 
 $tomorrow = mktime (0,0,0,date ("M"), date ("D") +1,date ("Y")); echo "Tomorrow is". Date ("y/m/d", $tomorrow); 
? 
    
         
         
   
    
         
         
   
    
         
         
   
    
         
         
   
 The 
         
         
 output is like. 
 
         
         
 tomorrow is 2006/07/12
