PHP Series Learning Date function _php Tutorial

Introduction

PHP is a very amazing language. It's strong enough (The biggest blog (WordPress) core language), it's broad enough (running on the biggest social networking site on Facebook), it's simple enough (as a beginner's preferred entry language). Works well on low-cost machines. And the PHP language has a lot of very good server suites (such as Wamp and Mamp), easy to install on your machine. PHP has a very rich library resource that makes it easy for developers to handle some business. Since we have the most contact with dates in the project, today we start with the date function.

To give a simple date example

I will use the echo command to output the content to our client (browser). I will use the following code as the base code.

 
 

  
  

  
>  
  
  

  
< HTML   lang="en">  
  
  

  
< Head >  
  
  

  
 < Meta   charset="utf-8"   />  
  
  

  
 < title > Getting started with dates in php5   title >  
  
  

  
 Head >  
  
  

  
< Body >  
  
  

  
 PHP  
  
  

  
Date_default_timezone_set (' Asia/shanghai ');
  
  

  
echo "Today is", Date (' L ');
  
  

  
?>  
  
  

  
 Body >  
  
  

  
 HTML >  
 
 

You will see the following content in your browser.

Today is Friday

This function outputs the text format of the day of the week. The date function requires at least one character parameter (this parameter tells us how to format the current date).

Try a different format
