    DATE FUNCTION
    date(format, timestamp)

    This is the most commonly used function for working


    with dates and times.

    It takes an optional format string that specifies how


    you want the date and time to be displayed.

    If you omit the format string, it returns the current


    date and time in a default format (usually something
    like "Y-m-d H:i:s").

     D - A textual representation of a day (three
    letters)(Mon)
     H: Two-digit hour in 24-hour format (00 to 23)
     i: Two-digit minutes (00 to 59)
     s: Two-digit seconds (00 to 59)

    TIME
    FUNCTION
    T I M E ( )

    This function returns the current Unix timestamp like (1715501730). Unix timestamp is the number of
    seconds that have passed since the Unix Epoch, which is January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT.

    Unix timestamps are useful for tracking and sorting dated information in distributed applications because
    they are interpreted the same regardless of region and are calculated from the same point in time
    regardless of time zone.

    The date() function can also use a Unix timestamp as input.

    CREATING DATES FROM STRING
     strtotime() function
    This function converts a string representing a date and time into a Unix timestamp.
    Example: $dateString = "2024-05-12";
    $timestamp = strtotime($dateString);
     DateTime Class:
    While date() and strtotime() are handy, the DateTime class (available since PHP 5.2) offers a
    more robust approach. It provides object-oriented methods for intricate date and time handling.
    $dateObj = new DateTime();
    echo $dateObj->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // Output: Current date and time
    // Modifying the date
    $dateObj->modify('+1 day'); // Add one day
    echo $dateObj->format('Y-m-d'); // Output: Tomorrow's date
    // Date arithmetic with intervals
    $interval = new DateInterval('P10D'); // Create an interval of 10 days
    $dateObj->add($interval); //add 10 days
    6
     DateInterval Class:

    This class represents a duration between two dates. You can use it to perform
    calculations involving time differences.

     DateTimeImmutable Class (PHP 5.5 and above):

    This class is similar to DateTime but represents an immutable date and time. This means
    you cannot directly modify the object's 3 date or time. Instead, you create new objects
    with the desired changes. It enforces better practices for data integrity.

     mktime() function:

    This function allows you to create a Unix timestamp from individual date and time
    components. You can specify the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

    D AT E A N D T I M E
    TIME ZONES
    D AT E A N D T I M E

    By default, PHP functions use the server's time zone. To set a


    specific time zone, you can use

     date_default_timezone_set(): This function sets the default


    timezone used by all PHP date and time functions in your
    script.
     DateTimeZone Class: This class represents a specific
    timezone. You can use it with DateTime objects to create
    dates and times in a particular timezone.

    $dateObj = new DateTime(); // Set the timezone to


    London $londonZone = DateTimeZone('Europe/London’); $dateObj-
    >setTimezone($londonZone);
    // Output: Current date and time in London time
    echo $dateObj->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

    ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
    checkdate(): Validates a Gregorian calendar date.
    checkdate(month, day, year) accepts parameter in int format.
    idate(): Formats a local time/date part as an integer.
    idate(format, timestamp(optinal))
    getdate(): Returns an associative array containing date and time information.
    getdate(timestamp(optional))
    When called without any arguments, it returns an associative array containing various components of
    the current date and time in the server's local time zone.
    gmdate(): Formats a GMT/UTC date and time.
    gmdate(format, timestamp)
    echo gmdate("l jS \of F Y h:i:s A")
    Sunday 12th of May 2024 09:38:13 AM
    gmmktime(): Creates a Unix timestamp for a GMT/UTC date and time. Then use it to find the day of that date:
    gmmktime(hour, minute, second, month, day, year)
    microtime(): Returns the current time in microseconds.
    no parameter
