How to obtain the current datetime and format date time using Smarty _php tips

Get the current date time and format date time in smarty with some different places in PHP, here is a detailed description:

The first is to get the current date time:
In PHP we use the DATE function to get the current time, and the instance code is as follows:
Date ("Y-m-dh:i:s"); The results will appear as follows: the 2010-07-27 21:19:36 model

But instead of using date in the Smarty template, we should use now to get the current time, with the instance code as follows:
{$smarty. Now}//The result will be displayed as: 1280236776 timestamp mode

However, we can also format the timestamp with the instance code as follows:
{$smarty. Now|date_format: '%y-%m-%d%h:%m:%s '}//The result will be displayed as the time pattern for the 2010-07-27 21:19:36

It should be explained that this Date_format time format function in Smarty is essentially the same as the strftime () function in PHP, and you can see the format recognition conversion tag in the strftime () function in PHP. Where%Y is representing the decimal year,%m is the decimal month,%d is the decimal days,%H is the decimal hour,%m is the decimal point, and%s is the number of seconds on behalf of the decimal (the S is capitalized here).

{$smarty. Now|date_format: "%h:%m:%s"}
{$currtime |date_format}//format passed in time
