find the current date and time in php

In PHP, you can get the current date and time using the date function and the time function.

To get the current date and time, you can use the following code:

main.php
$currentDateTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
40 chars
2 lines

The date function formats the date and time according to the specified format, which in this case is Y-m-d H:i:s. Y represents the year, m represents the month, d represents the day, H represents the hour in 24-hour format, i represents the minute, and s represents the second.

You can also get the current timestamp using the time function, which returns the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT). To convert the timestamp to a readable date and time format, you can use the date function:

main.php
$currentTimestamp = time();
$currentDateTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $currentTimestamp);
87 chars
3 lines

This will give you the same result as the previous example.
