Capital Y represents a four-digit year, while lowercase y represents a two-digit number for the year;
Lowercase m represents the number of months (with leading), while lowercase n indicates the number of months without leading.

The code is as follows	Copy Code

Uppercase M represents the 3 abbreviations for the month, while lowercase m represents the number of months (with a leading 0);
There is no uppercase J, only lowercase J indicates the date of the month, no leading o, and lowercase D if you want the month band leading.

The code is as follows	Copy Code
echo Date (' y-m-j '); 2007-feb-6 echo Date (' Y-f-js '); 2007-february-6th

Capital M represents the 3 abbreviations of the month, while capital F indicates the full English of the month. (No lowercase f)
Uppercase S represents the suffix of a date, such as "St", "nd", "rd", and "th", depending on the date number.

Summary:
Indicates that the year can be in uppercase Y and lowercase y;
Indicates that the month can be in uppercase F, uppercase M, lowercase m, and lowercase n (two ways of representing characters and numbers, respectively);
Indicates that the day can be a suffix of a date with lowercase d and lowercase j, uppercase S.

2, when: minutes: seconds

By default, PHP interprets the time as "Greenwich Mean Time", which is 8 hours away from our local time.

The code is as follows	Copy Code
echo Date (' g:i:s a '); 5:56:57 am echo Date (' H:i:s A '); 05:56:57 AM

Lowercase g represents a 12-hour system with no leading 0, while lowercase h indicates a 12-hour system with a leading 0.
When using a 12-hour system, you need to indicate that in the afternoon, lowercase a is the lowercase "am" and "PM", and capital a denotes "AM" and "PM" uppercase.

The code is as follows	Copy Code
echo Date (' g:i:s '); 14:02:26

Capital G represents 24 hours of hours, but not leading; use uppercase H to indicate a 24 hour system with a leading number of hours

Summary:
The letter G indicates that the hour is not leading, and the letter H denotes the hour with leading;
Lowercase g, h means 12-hour system, capital G, H is 24-hour system.

3, Leap year, week, day

The code is as follows	Copy Code
echo Date (' L '); Whether this year leap years: 0 echo Date (' L '); Today is: Tuesday echo Date (' D '); Today is: Tue

Capital L indicates whether a leap year is a Boolean value that returns 1 for true or 0;
Lowercase L means the day is the week of the English full write (Tuesday);
Instead, use uppercase D to denote the 3-character abbreviation for the Day of the Week (Tue).

The code is as follows	Copy Code
echo Date (' W '); Today's Week: 2 echo Date (' W '); This week is the No. 06 week of the year. The lowercase w represents the day of the week, the number form represents Capital W indicates the number of weeks in a year echo Date (' t '); This month is 28 days echo Date (' Z '); Today is the 36th day of the year.

Lowercase T represents the current month and how many days
Lowercase Z means today is the first day of the year

4, other

The code is as follows

Copy Code

echo Date (' T '); Utc Capital T indicates the time zone setting of the server 1 echo Date (' I '); 0 Capital I indicates whether the current is daylight saving time, returns 1 for true, or 0 echo Date (' U '); 1170769424 The capital U represents the total number of seconds from January 1, 1970 to the present, which is the Unix time stamp for the Unix time era. echo Date (' C '); 2007-02-06t14:24:43+00:00 Lowercase C represents the ISO8601 date, the date format is YYYY-MM-DD, the date and time is separated by the letter T, the time format is HH:MM:SS, and the time zone uses the deviation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). echo Date (' R '); Tue, Feb 2007 14:25:52 +0000 Lowercase R represents the RFC822 date.

Time zone problem in date function

Date ("y-m-d h:i:s") Totals server time by a few hours

The workaround is as follows:

First, use Date_default_timezone_set () in the header to set my default time zone for the year

The code is as follows	Copy Code
Date_default_timezone_set (' PRC '); echo Date (' y-m-d h:i:s ');

Time is the same as the server current time!!

Second, modify the php.ini.

Open Php5.ini Find Date.timezone Remove the preceding semicolon = Add xxx back, restart the HTTP service

(such as apache2 or IIS, etc.).
For XXX, the values available in mainland China are: asia/chongqing, Asia/shanghai,

Asia/urumqi (Chongqing, Shanghai, Urumqi in turn) Taiwan available: Asia/macao,

Asia/hong_kong, Asia/taipei (Macao, Hong Kong, Taipei) and Singapore:

Asia/singapore foreigners seem to have leaked Beijing. Other available values are: Etc/gmt-8, Singapore,

Hongkong, what's PRC,PRC? PRC is the People's Republic of China Ah-_-above all from the PHP official documentation

The areas that are sorted out under the gmt+8 may be omitted.

Date function month and day band 0 problem

The code is as follows	Copy Code
One, with 0 echo Date (' y-m-d '); 2012-08-08 Two, do not take 0 echo Date (' y-n-j '); 2012-8-8
