您可以使用$_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']变量(自PHP 5.1.0起可用)或time()函数来获取当前的Unix时间戳。

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Warsaw');
echo("<p class='time'>".date('H:i:s')."</p>");
echo("<p class='date'>".date('d/m/Y')."</p>");

如果你是孟加拉国人，如果你想知道达卡的时间，那么用这个:

$date = new DateTime();
$date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone("Asia/Dhaka"));
$get_datetime = $date->format('d.m.Y H:i:s');

PHP的time()返回当前Unix时间戳。这样，您就可以使用date()函数将其格式化为您需要的格式。

$date = date('Format String', time());

正如Paolo在评论中提到的，第二个论点是多余的。下面的代码段相当于上面的代码段:

$date = date('Format String');

如果您想要不同的时间刻度，请使用:

$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);

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta");
echo date("Y/m/d H:i:s");
