php time function, php function_PHP tutorial

print(date("Y year m month d day");//Output the current year, month and day.

print(date("Y year m month d day",60*60*24*365*10);//Output January 1, 1980.

?>

Maybe you will ask, why is there no timestamp? If timestamp is empty, or does not write a time, it means that the current time timestamp is used.

represents the year control character: Y---four-digit year y---two-digit year

represents the control character of the month: m---month from 1-12 F---English month name M---abbreviated month name

represents the control symbol of day number: d---the day of the month with 0 in front j--the day number without 0 in front

represents the control symbol for the day of the week: l--English week D--Abbreviated week

represents the hour control character: h--hours from 1 to 12 H---hours from 0 to 23

indicates morning and afternoon control characters a ---am or pm A ---AM or PM

represents the minute control character: i---value 00-59

Additional z--date of the year

2. array getdate(integer timestamp)

This function returns a matrix.

For example:

$current_date=getdate();

print($current_date("hours"));

print($current_date("minutes");

print($current_date("seconds");

?>

Description:

Element Description

hours Hours in 24-hour format

mday Mid-month date

minutes minutes

mon month in numeric form

month Full name of month

seconds seconds

wday Day of the week as a number from 0 to 6

weekday The name of the day of the week

year year

0 timestamp is the number of seconds from January 1, 1970 to the present

yday The numeric date of the year

3. boolean checkdate(integer month,integer day,integer year)

This function checks whether the date is legal. For example:

if(checkdate(2,29,1980))

print("Date is valid!n");

?>

4. integer time()

This function obtains the current timestamp. For example:

print(time());//Output a large series of integers

?>

5. integer mktime(integer hour,integer minutes,integer seconds,integer month, integer day,integer year)

This function returns the timestamp of the given date, i.e. the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

If a parameter is out of range, this function can also explain it, for example, 13th is January of the next year.

For example:

$currenthour=date("H");

print("After 50 hours:");

print(date("h:i A l F dS,Y",mktime($currenthour+50)));

print("
n");

?>

6. string microtime()

This function returns a string consisting of the current time in milliseconds + space + the number of seconds since 1970

print("start:microtime()
n");

for($index=0;$index<1000;$index++)

print("good!");

print("stop:microtime()
n");

?>

Also, I won’t talk about the Linwich Standard Time functions that are not commonly used! These are the commonly used ones.

1, year-month-day

echo date('Y-m-j');

2007-02-6
echo date('y-n-j');

07-2-6

Capital Y represents the four-digit year, while lowercase y represents the two-digit year;

A lowercase m represents the number of the month (with a leading character), while a lowercase n represents the number of the month without a leading character.

echo date('Y-M-j');

2007-Feb-6

echo date('Y-m-d');

2007-02-06

Capital M represents the 3 abbreviated characters of the month, while lowercase m represents the number of the month (with leading 0);

There is no capital J, only lowercase j represents the date of the month, without the leading o; if the month needs to be preceded, use the lowercase d.

echo date('Y-M-j');

2007-Feb-6

echo date('Y-F-jS');

2007-February-6th

Capital M represents the 3 abbreviated characters of the month, while capital F represents the full English character of the month. (no lowercase f)

Capital S represents the suffix of the date, such as "st", "nd", "rd" and "th", depending on the date number.

Summary:

You can use uppercase Y or lowercase y to indicate the year;

The month can be represented by uppercase F, uppercase M, lowercase m and lowercase n (two ways to represent characters and numbers respectively);

can use lowercase d and lowercase j to represent the day, and uppercase S represents the suffix of the date.

2, hours: minutes: seconds

By default, the time displayed by PHP interpretation is "Greenwich Mean Time", which is 8 hours different from our local time.

echo date('g:i:s a');

5:56:57 am

echo date('h:i:s A');

05:56:57 AM

A lowercase g indicates a 12-hour format without leading 0s, while a lowercase h indicates a 12-hour format with leading 0s.

When using the 12-hour clock, you need to indicate morning and afternoon. Lowercase a represents lowercase "am" and "pm", and uppercase A represents uppercase "AM" and "PM".

echo date('G:i:s');

14:02:26

Capital G represents the hour in 24-hour format, but without leading; use capital H to represent the hour in 24-hour format with leading

Summary:

The letter g represents the hour without leading, and the letter h represents the hour with leading;

Lowercase g and h represent the 12-hour clock, and uppercase G and H represent the 24-hour clock.

3, leap year, week, day

echo date('L');

Whether this year is a leap year: 0

echo date('l');

Today is: Tuesday

echo date('D');

Today is: Tue

Capital L indicates whether this year is a leap year, Boolean value, returns 1 if true, otherwise 0;

The lowercase l represents the full English word for the day of the week (Tuesday);

Use a capital D to represent the 3-character abbreviation of the day of the week (Tue).

echo date('w');
Today's week: 2

echo date('W');

This week is week 06 of the year

The lowercase w represents the day of the week, and the number represents it

Capital W represents the number of weeks in the year

echo date('t');

This month is 28 days

echo date('z');

Today is the 36th day of the year

Lowercase t represents the number of days in the current month

Lowercase z indicates the day of the year today is

4, Others

echo date('T');

UTC

Capital T indicates the server’s time locale

echo date('I');

0

Capital I means to determine whether the current daylight saving time is, if true, return 1, otherwise 0

echo date('U');

1170769424

Capital U represents the total number of seconds from January 1, 1970 to the present, which is the UNIX timestamp of the Unix time epoch.

echo date('c');

2007-02-06T14:24:43+00:00

Lowercase c represents the ISO8601 date. The date format is YYYY-MM-DD. The letter T is used to separate the date and time. The time format is HH:MM:SS. The time zone is represented by the offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). .

echo date('r');

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 14:25:52 +0000

Lowercase r indicates RFC822 date.

Calculating the time difference in php is sometimes very troublesome!

However, I believe that in any language, as long as you master its regularity, you can find a way, and it will definitely turn decay into magic.

Date calculations are often performed at work. Here are some experiences gained from work. Write it down first so you don’t forget it later!

1. The first method is to calculate the time period difference (can be minutes, seconds, days)

$endtime="2004-09-09 18:10:00";

$d1=substr($endtime,17,2); //Seconds

$d2=substr($endtime,14,2); //minutes

$d3=substr($endtime,11,2); // time

$d4=substr($endtime,8,2); //Day

$d5=substr($endtime,5,2); //month

$d6=substr($endtime,0,4); //Year

echo $d1.'-'.$d2.'-'.$d3.'-'.$d5.'-'.$d4.'-'.$d6."n";

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."n";

$now_T=mktime(date("H"),date("i"),date("s"),date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")) ;

echo $now_T."n";

$now_S=mktime("$d3","$d2","$d1","$d5","$d4","$d6");

echo $now_S."n";

$end_TS=($now_S-$now_T)/60; //Calculate the remaining minutes

echo $end_TS;

?>

Note $startdate=mktime("0","0","0","1","1","2000");

//The obtained value is the total number of seconds from 1970-1-1 to the parameter time, then convert it into minutes/60 hours/3600 days/3600/24!
If the parameters in mktime() are default, it means using the current date.

2. If you have a database, it will be easy! If you have MSSQL, you can use triggers! Just use the function datediff() that specializes in calculating date differences!

If it is MYSQL, use the difference between the two date fields to calculate the calculation result and save it in another numeric field! Just call it when needed!

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
5· by: the original poster

The following collection date calculation methods:

A certain date plus a few days:

$tdate=date("Y-m-d");

$a=date( "Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+3,date("Y")));

$sql="select * from memo where username='$session_user_id'

and compid=$compid and telldate>='$tdate' and telldate<='$a'

order by id desc";

$ret=mysql_query($sql,$conn);

$a is today + three days!

$b=date( "Y-m-d", mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-3,date("Y")));

$b is today - three days!

////

The date after a certain date plus n days

$days=abs((strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))-strtotime("xxxx-xx-xx"))/86400);

/////

6·Several methods of calculating time difference in php by ：Owner

A simple example is to calculate the number of days to borrow a book. This requires PHP to calculate based on the date of each day. Let’s talk about several methods to implement this date calculation:

(1) If you have a database, it will be easy! If it is MSSQL, you can use triggers! Just use the function datediff() that specially calculates the date difference! If it is MYSQL, use the calculation result of the difference between two date fields. Save it in another numeric field! Just call it when you need it!
(2) If there is no database, you have to use PHP’s time and date function! The following is the main explanation:
Example: Calculate May 1998 Number of days from 3rd to 1999-6-5:

$enddate=mktime("0","0","0","6","5","1999");
//The obtained value is from 1970-1-1 to The total number of seconds of parameter time: is an integer. Then

//The following code is much easier to compile:

$days=round(($enddate-$startdate)/3600/24) ;

//days is the number of days obtained;

If the parameter in mktime() is defaulted, it means using the current date, so that the number of days from the date of borrowing the book can be calculated.
