PHP provides two functions for formatting dates: date() and DateTime::format(). date() The date() function takes a Unix timestamp as input and returns a formatted date string. The format of the output string is specified by the second parameter. Here are some examples of how to use the date() function: PHP

// Get the current date and time.
$now = time();

// Format the date and time as 2023-10-29 15:12:55.
$formattedDate = date(Y-m-d H:i:s, $now);

// Format the date as October 29, 2023.
$formattedDate = date(F j, Y, $now);

// Format the time as 15:12.
$formattedTime = date(H:i, $now);

// Create a DateTime object for the current date and time.
$now = new DateTime();

// Format the date and time as 2023-10-29 15:12:55.
$formattedDate = $now-format(Y-m-d H:i:s);

// Format the date as October 29, 2023.
$formattedDate = $now-format(F j, Y);

// Format the time as 15:12.
$formattedTime = $now-format(H:i);
