如何使用PHP获取日期和时间，

Question

I used to get the date and time like this in PHP:

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

$info = getdate();
$date = $info['mday'];
$month = $info['mon'];
$year = $info['year'];
$hour = $info['hours'];
$min = $info['minutes'];
$sec = $info['seconds'];

$time = "D/M/Y= $date/$month/$year H/M/S= $hour:$min:$sec";

Although, now whenever I run it, $time ends up: "0".

Is there an alternative to this method?

Answer 1

Use the date() function to format a date/time.

echo date('\D/\M/\Y= d/m/Y \H/\M/\S= G:m:s');

To use a literal character ("D" for example), you must escape it.
