Explanation
Let’s go through each function and its parameters used in the PHP program:
Date_default_timezone_set
Purpose: Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script.
Parameters:
Timezone: A string representing the timezone identifier (e.g., ‘Asia/Kolkata’).
Date
Purpose: Formats a local date and time.
Parameters:
Format: A string specifying the format of the outputted date string (e.g., ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’).
Timestamp (optional): An integer Unix timestamp. If omitted, the current time is used.
Date_create
Purpose: Creates a new DateTime object.
Parameters:
Time (optional): A string representing a date/time (e.g., ‘2024-11-12’). If omitted, the current date and
time are used.
Date_format
Purpose: Returns a formatted date string from a DateTime object.
Parameters:
Object: A DateTime object.
Format: A string specifying the format of the outputted date string (e.g., ‘l, F jS, Y’).
Date_add
Purpose: Adds an interval to a DateTime object.
Parameters:
Object: A DateTime object.
Interval: A DateInterval object representing the interval to add (e.g.,
date_interval_create_from_date_string(’10 days’)).
Date_interval_create_from_date_string
Purpose: Creates a DateInterval object from a relative parts string.
Parameters:
Time: A string representing the interval (e.g., ’10 days’).
Date_sub
Purpose: Subtracts an interval from a DateTime object.
Parameters:
Object: A DateTime object.
Interval: A DateInterval object representing the interval to subtract (e.g.,
date_interval_create_from_date_string(‘5 days’)).
Date_diff
Purpose: Returns the difference between two DateTime objects.
Parameters:
Datetime1: A DateTime object representing the first date.
Datetime2: A DateTime object representing the second date.
Absolute (optional): A boolean indicating whether to return an absolute difference. Default is FALSE.
Date_sun_info
Purpose: Returns an array with information about sunset/sunrise and twilight begin/end.
Parameters:
Time: An integer Unix timestamp.
Latitude: A float representing the latitude of the location.
Longitude: A float representing the longitude of the location.
Time
Purpose: Returns the current Unix timestamp.
Parameters: None.
Date (used again for converting Unix timestamp)
Purpose: Formats a local date and time.
Parameters:
Format: A string specifying the format of the outputted date string (e.g., ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’).
Timestamp: An integer Unix timestamp to format.
