Example
Example 1
When running the following program in China (GMT +0800), the first line shows "01 2000 00:00:00", while the second line shows "Dec 31 1999 16:00:00".

<?php Tutorial
echo Date ("M D Y h:i:s", Mktime (0,0,0,1,1,2000));
Echo gmdate ("M D Y h:i:s", Mktime (0,0,0,1,1,2000));
?> output:

01 2000 00:00:00
Dec 31 1999 16:00:00

<?php
Echo ("Result with date (): <br/>");
Echo (Date ("L"). "<br/>");
Echo (Date ("L DS of F Y h:i:s A"). "<br/>");
Echo ("Oct 3,1975 is on a". Date ("L", Mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). " <br/> ");
echo, Date (date_rfc822). "<br/>");
Echo (Date_atom,mktime (0,0,0,10,3,1975)). "<br/><br/>");

Echo ("Result with Gmdate (): <br/>");
Echo (Gmdate ("L"). "<br/>");
Echo (Gmdate ("L DS of F Y h:i:s A"). "<br/>");
