date
Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given integer timestamp (Unix timestamp) or the current time if no timestamp is given. In other words, timestamp is optional and defaults to the value of time() .
Warning
Unix timestamps do not handle timezones. Use the DateTimeImmutable class, and its DateTimeInterface::format() formatting method to format date/time information with a timezone attached.
Parameters
Note: date() will always generate 000000 as microseconds since it takes an int parameter, whereas DateTime::format() does support microseconds if DateTime was created with microseconds.
The optional timestamp parameter is an int Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if timestamp is omitted or null . In other words, it defaults to the value of time() .
Return Values
Returns a formatted date string.
Errors/Exceptions
Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_WARNING if the time zone is not valid. See also date_default_timezone_set()

Examples
Example #1 date() examples
// set the default timezone to use.
date_default_timezone_set ( ‘UTC’ );
?php
// Prints something like: Monday
echo date ( «l» );
// Prints something like: Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM
echo date ( ‘l jS \of F Y h:i:s A’ );
// Prints: July 1, 2000 is on a Saturday
echo «July 1, 2000 is on a » . date ( «l» , mktime ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 7 , 1 , 2000 ));
/* use the constants in the format parameter */
// prints something like: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:28:57 -0700
echo date ( DATE_RFC2822 );
// prints something like: 2000-07-01T00:00:00+00:00
echo date ( DATE_ATOM , mktime ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 7 , 1 , 2000 ));
?>
You can prevent a recognized character in the format string from being expanded by escaping it with a preceding backslash. If the character with a backslash is already a special sequence, you may need to also escape the backslash.
Example #2 Escaping characters in date()
// prints something like: Wednesday the 15th
echo date ( ‘l \t\h\e jS’ );
?>?php
It is possible to use date() and mktime() together to find dates in the future or the past.
Example #3 date() and mktime() example
$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 );
?>?php
Note:
This can be more reliable than simply adding or subtracting the number of seconds in a day or month to a timestamp because of daylight saving time.
Some examples of date() formatting. Note that you should escape any other characters, as any which currently have a special meaning will produce undesirable results, and other characters may be assigned meaning in future PHP versions. When escaping, be sure to use single quotes to prevent characters like \n from becoming newlines.
Example #4 date() Formatting
// Assuming today is March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm, and that we are in the
// Mountain Standard Time (MST) Time Zone
?php
$today = date ( «F j, Y, g:i a» ); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
$today = date ( «m.d.y» ); // 03.10.01
$today = date ( «j, n, Y» ); // 10, 3, 2001
$today = date ( «Ymd» ); // 20010310
$today = date ( ‘h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day’ ); // 05-16-18, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Satpm01
$today = date ( ‘\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.’ ); // it is the 10th day.
$today = date ( «D M j G:i:s T Y» ); // Sat Mar 10 17:16:18 MST 2001
$today = date ( ‘H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h’ ); // 17:03:18 m is month
$today = date ( «H:i:s» ); // 17:16:18
$today = date ( «Y-m-d H:i:s» ); // 2001-03-10 17:16:18 (the MySQL DATETIME format)
?>
To format dates in other languages, IntlDateFormatter::format() can be used instead of date() .
Notes
Note:
To generate a timestamp from a string representation of the date, you may be able to use strtotime() . Additionally, some databases have functions to convert their date formats into timestamps (such as MySQL’s » UNIX_TIMESTAMP function).
Tip
Timestamp of the start of the request is available in $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_TIME’] .

checkdate
Checks the validity of the date formed by the arguments. A date is considered valid if each parameter is properly defined.
Parameters
The month is between 1 and 12 inclusive.
The day is within the allowed number of days for the given month . Leap year s are taken into consideration.
The year is between 1 and 32767 inclusive.

Examples
Example #1 checkdate() example
var_dump ( checkdate ( 12 , 31 , 2000 ));
var_dump ( checkdate ( 2 , 29 , 2001 ));
?>?phpThe above example will output:

With DateTime you can make the shortest date&time validator for all formats.
function validateDate ( $date , $format = ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’ )
$d = DateTime :: createFromFormat ( $format , $date );
return $d && $d -> format ( $format ) == $date ;
>var_dump ( validateDate ( ‘2012-02-28 12:12:12’ )); # true
var_dump ( validateDate ( ‘2012-02-30 12:12:12’ )); # false
var_dump ( validateDate ( ‘2012-02-28’ , ‘Y-m-d’ )); # true
var_dump ( validateDate ( ’28/02/2012′ , ‘d/m/Y’ )); # true
var_dump ( validateDate ( ’30/02/2012′ , ‘d/m/Y’ )); # false
var_dump ( validateDate ( ’14:50′ , ‘H:i’ )); # true
var_dump ( validateDate ( ’14:77′ , ‘H:i’ )); # false
var_dump ( validateDate ( 14 , ‘H’ )); # true
var_dump ( validateDate ( ’14’ , ‘H’ )); # truevar_dump ( validateDate ( ‘2012-02-28T12:12:12+02:00’ , ‘Y-m-d\TH:i:sP’ )); # true
# or
var_dump ( validateDate ( ‘2012-02-28T12:12:12+02:00’ , DateTime :: ATOM )); # truevar_dump ( validateDate ( ‘Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:12:12 +0200’ , ‘D, d M Y H:i:s O’ )); # true

Version Description 8.0.0 timestamp is nullable now. Как определить дату и время пользователя в php? [дубликат]
Как определить дату и время у пользователя? Если зайдет он на сайт, находясь в Москве, то вывести время в Москве, если в Нью-Йорке — нью-йоркское.
Пытался определять с помощью getdate() , localtime() , date(‘h-i-s’)
Выводит везде одно и то же время — берлинское.Отслеживать

Пытался определять с помощью getdate(), localtime(), date(‘h-i-s’) Выводит везде одно и то же время — берлинское.
Так как php работает на сервере, то и функции возвращают серверное время.
Чтобы получить время пользователя, надо на его компьютере запустить код определения времени. Для этого подходит javascript и его функции работы с датой https://learn.javascript.ru/datetime
Дальше: если нужно ли время юзера знать на сервере, тогда придется отправлять полученное время или часовой пояс на сервер посредством ajax например, если время на сервере не нужно, а требуется пересчитать все метки времени на отображаемой странице, то следует с сервера в этой странице передавать его часовой пояс, чтобы js вычислял разницу с часовым поясом пользователя и производил пересчет.
P.S. Совсем хитрый вариант: по ip юзера получать его местонахождение, узнавать часовой пояс и прямо на сервере пересчитывать время.
