php 与数据库有关的date()

<?php

 $now_time=date('Y-m-d');                  //Now_time 以字符串的形式显示当前时间
 $london = mktime(0,0,0,7,27,2012);       //返回一个长整数的时间戳
 $dif=$london - time()+(1*24*60*60);      //计算时间差
 echo "now: ";
 echo date("Y-m-d");
 echo "<br >";
 echo "london Olympics:". date('Y-m-d',$london);
 echo "<br>";
 echo "距离伦敦奥运会开幕还有：" . date('z',$dif) ;
 echo "天<br>";

Example #1 time() 例子

<?php
$nextWeek = time() + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60);
// 7 days; 24 hours; 60 mins; 60secs
echo 'Now: '. date('Y-m-d') ."\n";
echo 'Next Week: '. date('Y-m-d', $nextWeek) ."\n";
?>
date_diff例子
<?php
$datetime1 = date_create('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = date_create('2009-10-13');
$interval = date_diff($datetime1, $datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
