0 9127
Timestamp is the current time of an event that is recorded by a computer. A computer give accurate current time with minute and seconds. We use time() function to get current timestamp. Which gives us date and time.
<?php $t=time(); echo "Timestamp is: ".time(). ' and date and time is : '.date("Y-m-d H:i:s A",$t); echo '<br /><br />'; date_default_timezone_set("UTC"); $time = time(); echo "UTC Timestamp is: ". time(). ' and date and time is : '.date("Y-m-d H:i:s A",$time); echo "<br /><br />"; date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kuwait"); echo "Asia/ Kuwait Timestamp is: " .time(). ' and date and time is : '.date("Y-m-d H:i:s A",$t); echo "<br /><br />"; ?>
Result:
In this example we set time zone for 'Asia/ Kuwait and UTC.
If we have specified timezone than it save time stamp of that timezone. If we have not selected timezone than it depend server location. In our local-host, it can use default timezone mentioned in php.ini file.
