PHP Date Function

While waiting for iftar. I want to continue post yesterday describing the functions of PHP. if yesterday we had know about the PHP string functions. Now we will discuss about the PHP date function.

Date function is used to retrieve the value in the date, hour, and all the things about the current time. The results of this function is a string which contains the date / hour according to the desired format. following the existing format in date function

a - "am" or "pm"
A - "AM" or "PM"
B - Swatch Internet time
d - day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros; i.e. "01" to "31"
D - day of the week, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Fri"
F - month, textual, long; i.e. "January"
g - hour, 12-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12"
G - hour, 24-hour format without leading zeros; i.e. "0" to "23"
h - hour, 12-hour format; i.e. "01" to "12"
H - hour, 24-hour format; i.e. "00" to "23"
i - minutes; i.e. "00" to "59"
I (capital i) - "1" if Daylight Savings Time, "0" otherwise.
j - day of the month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "31"
l (lowercase 'L') - day of the week, textual, long; i.e. "Friday"
L - boolean for whether it is a leap year; i.e. "0" or "1"
m - month; i.e. "01" to "12"
M - month, textual, 3 letters; i.e. "Jan"
n - month without leading zeros; i.e. "1" to "12"
s - seconds; i.e. "00" to "59"
S - English ordinal suffix, textual, 2 characters; i.e. "th", "nd"
t - number of days in the given month; i.e. "28" to "31"
T - Timezone setting of this machine; i.e. "MDT"
U - seconds since the epoch
w - day of the week, numeric, i.e. "0" (Sunday) to "6" (Saturday)
Y - year, 4 digits; i.e. "1999"
y - year, 2 digits; i.e. "99"
z - day of the year; i.e. "0" to "365"
Z - timezone offset in seconds (i.e. "-43200" to "43200")

sintax :

date (string format)

examples of the use of date functions :

date ("Ymd"); / / prints "2011-08-15"
date ("l, j FY"); / / prints "Monday, 15 August 2011"
date ("H: i: s"); / / prints "16:51:06"

very simple and very useful to complement your web page. may be useful for you. thank:)

need to know! 
In computer science, a subroutine (also called procedure, function, routine, method, or subprogram) is a portion of code within a larger program that performs a specific task and is relatively independent of the remaining code.

As the name "subprogram" suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that is used as one step in a larger program or another subprogram. A subroutine is often coded so that it can be started ("called") several times and/or from several places during a single execution of the program, including from other subroutines, and then branch back (return) to the next instruction after the "call" once the subroutine's task is done.

Subroutines are a powerful programming tool, and the syntax of many programming languages includes support for writing and using them. Judicious use of subroutines (for example, through the structured programming approach) will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program, while increasing its quality and reliability. Subroutines, often collected into libraries, are an important mechanism for sharing and trading software. The discipline of object-oriented programming is based on objects and methods (which are subroutines attached to these objects or object classes).

In the compilation technique called threaded code, the executable program is basically a sequence of subroutine calls. Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler, and Stanley Gill are credited with the invention of this concept, which they referred to as closed subroutine
