The date function in PHP can be implemented in the format of dates and time display, this is also a few examples we commonly used, the following to introduce to you friends, I hope this tutorial is helpful.
Time () function
The time () function returns the Unix timestamp for the current time. Returns the number of seconds since the Unix era (January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT) to the current time.
The timestamp of the time the request was initiated was saved in $_server[' Request_time ' from PHP 5.1.
The code is as follows |
Copy Code |
$time = time (); Echo ($time. " "); Echo (Date ("D F D Y", $time)); ?> Program Run Result: 1292984702 Wed December 22 2010 |
1292984702 units are seconds, from January 1, 1970 00:00:00 to the current number of seconds.
Sometimes we want to know what's going on in the next week, such as the number of days, the day of the week, and so on, we can write:
The code is as follows |
Copy Code |
$nextWeek = time () + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60); 7 days; Hours; mins; 60secs Echo ' Now: '. Date (' y-m-d '). " "; Echo ' Next Week: '. Date (' y-m-d d ', $nextWeek). " "; ?> Program Run Result: Now:2010-12-22 Next week:2010-12-29 Wed |
Date () function
This function is more familiar.
The code is as follows |
Copy Code |
Echo ("Result with date (): "); Echo (Date ("L"). " "); Echo (Date ("L DS of F Y h:i:s A"). " "); Echo ("Oct 3,1975 is on a". Date ("L", Mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). " "); Echo (Date (date_rfc822). " "); Echo (Date (Date_atom,mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). "
"); Echo ("Result with Gmdate (): "); Echo (Gmdate ("L"). " "); Echo (Gmdate ("L DS of F Y h:i:s A"). " "); Echo ("Oct 3,1975 is on a". Gmdate ("L", Mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). " "); Echo (Gmdate (date_rfc822). " "); Echo (Gmdate (Date_atom,mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). " "); ?> Program Run Result: Result with date (): Wednesday Wednesday 22nd of December 02:36:18 AM Oct 3,1975 is on a Friday Wed, Dec 10 02:36:18 +0000 1975-10-03t00:00:00+00:00
Result with Gmdate (): Wednesday Wednesday 22nd of December 02:36:18 AM Oct 3,1975 is on a Friday Wed, Dec 10 02:36:18 +0000 1975-10-03t00:00:00+00:00 |
Therefore, we should give a compatibility of the wording, unified use of gmdate, and manually set the current time zone, the following improvements:
The code is as follows |
Copy Code |
echo gmdate (' y-m-d h:i:s ', time () + 3600 * 8); |
So no matter under the Linux+apache or windows are getting the correct results, of course, there is a benefit to write, when the site is facing the world, then the site users as long as the settings in the time zone, the program automatically based on the time zone set by the user to calculate, The publication time of the information in the database is only the time that is generated by the current date (), then the published time in China + 8 time zone is: 2007-03-14 12:15:27, then in Europe + 2 time zone users see this information published: 2007-03-14 06:15:27, the time for this information is all right.
A custom format for the community to display the date
The code is as follows |
Copy Code |
/** * Formatted display of time functions * * Similar watercress (a few seconds ago/a few minutes ago/today 3:50/yesterday 3:50/3-6) * * @param $timestamp Timestamp required parameter, the following three parameters are optional, in order to improve the speed of calculation, it is recommended to directly assign value * @param $now Current timestamp * @param $today today 00:00 time stamp * @param $yesterday yesterday 00:00 time stamp * @return String */ function Timeshow ($timestamp, $now =0, $today =0, $yesterday = 0) { if (! $timestamp) {return ';} if (! $now) {$now = time ();} if (! $today) {$today = Strtotime ("Today");} if (! $yesterday) {$yesterday = $today-86400;} $cha = $now-$timestamp; if ($cha <60) { return $cha. " Seconds ago "; }elseif ($cha <60*60) { $min = Floor ($cha/60); Return $min. " Minutes ago "; }elseif ($timestamp >= $today) { Return date ("H:i Today", $timestamp); }elseif ($timestamp >= $yesterday) { Return date ("Yesterday H:i", $timestamp); }else{ Return date ("m-d", $timestamp); } } |
At the end of this article, we introduce some parameters
Description of format mode:
Formatting Methods |
