in this tutorial I will discuss how to display the date into a web page. Date which will be displayed adjust the server time, not the time in the client. This matter caused PHP is server side programming. - Example : write the following code in the text editor then save it on localhost with date.php name
echo date("m/d/y");
Code Explanation
Functiondate ()is used to display the current date (according to server time). Suppose that it is the 20th January 2018, then the view from the script above is
We can change the date format in the form of 20-01-18 with the command
echo date("d-m-y");
results :
So what if we want to display a date in the next 2 days? Here's the code
<? php
$ duaharilagi = mktime (0, 0, 0, date ("m"), date ("d") + 2, date ("y"));
echo "Two more days is the date". date ("d / m / y", $ duaharilagi);
?>
re-edit date.php and replace with the code above then save
Results :
Code Explanation :
The mktime () function is used to create a timestamp, with the syntax:
mktime (hour, minute, second, month, day, year)
- Example : Write the following code in the text editor then save it with the name mktime.php then save it and run it on localhost
$tomorrow =mktime (0, 0, 0, date ("m"), date ("d") + 1, date ("Y")); $ lastmonth = mktime (0, 0, 0, date ("m") - 1, date ("d"), date ("Y")); $ nextyear = mktime (0, 0, 0, date ("m"), date ("d"), date ("Y") + 1); echo "Tomorrow is the date". date ("d / m / y", $ tomorrow). ""; echo "A month ago is the date". date ("d / m / y", $ lastmonth). ""; echo "Another year is the date". date ("d / m / y", $ nextyear). "";
