gettimeofday() function in php

0 1839

If you want to get the current time of the day, then here is an inbuilt function i.e. gettimeofday(). This function gives time in seconds.

Let's have a look on the function:-

gettimeofday() function gives an associative array. This function contains one parameter which is optional.

gettimeofday(float_value)

# float_value: If this parameter is set as true then the function returns a float value instead of an array.

In this associative array the returned values have their own meaning. These are:-

1. sec => Defines the seconds since the Unix Epoch

2. usec => Defines the microseconds

3. minuteswest => Defines the minutes west of Greenwich

4. dsttime => This defines the type of dst correction


<?php
// Get the array from gettimeofday()
print_r(gettimeofday());
?>

Result:



<?php
//Not get only float value from gettimeofday()
$currenttime= gettimeofday(true);
echo $currenttime;
?>

Result:



Also you can format the output after returning the time.

<?php
$currenttime=gettimeofday();
echo $currenttime['sec'].$currenttime['usec'];
?>

Result:
