Question: How do I get the current date and time in PHP?
I was asked the question about getting the current date. I realized they were asking about setting the timezone in php and not really getting the current date and time. So in this video I show you how to set and get the current time zone and use the basic functions of the php date function.

I have been writing software for 30+ years and enjoy working with new clients and teaching others how to develop.

A simple and quick video from a viewers question: "How do I get the current date and time in PHP?". I address getting and setting the timezone in php and getting the current date in php. How to format the date for your specific needs. I have future date videos in the queue coming soon.

I appreciate that you are keeping the vids short and sweet. This has been a great refresher for looking at just the options in PHP that I need after a few years of not programming.
