Php Sql Timestamp

This example illustrates how to create a timestamp type column.

In this example the PHP date() function formats a timestamp to a more readable date and time. A timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 at 00:00:00 GMT. This is also known as the Unix Timestamp. 

The first parameter in the date() function specifies how to format the date/time. It uses letters to represent date and time formats. Here are some of the letters that can be used:

  • d - The day of the month (01-31)
  • m - The current month, as a number (01-12)
  • Y - The current year in four digits

The second parameter in the date() function specifies a timestamp. This parameter is optional. If you do not supply a timestamp, the current time will be used. In the mktime() function we create a timestamp for tomorrow. The mktime() function returns the Unix timestamp for a specified date.
