Metóda - Date

The date() function is used for working with date and time. The function formats a local time and date according to a required format and returns as a formatted string.

The function takes two parameters: date (format [, timestamp = time() ] ).

• The first one (format) is required, according to this parameter, the returned string is formatted.
• The second one (timestamp) is optional, if we do not specify it, the actual time (=timestamp) is used (using the time() function). If we specify it, the function returns the formatted string according to the specified moment in time (timestamp) entered as the number of seconds till 1/1/1970.

Príklady

If we pass only the first parameter, the current date and time is formatted and returned:

The format of the first parameter: "d", The returned value:

<?php
echo date("d");

The format of the first parameter: "h:i", The returned value:

<?php
echo date("h:i");

The format of the first parameter: "d:M:Y - H:i:s", The returned value:

<?php
echo date("d/M/Y - H:i:s");

If we also pass the second (optional) parameter, the returned value is formatted according to the specific time (timestamp):

The format of the first parameter: "d:M:Y - H:i:s", second parameter: time() + (246060), returned value::

<?php
echo date("d/M/Y - H:i:s", time()+(24*60*60));

The second parameter takes the current time (time()) and adds 246060 seconds, which is exactly 1 more day and this is also returned.
