How do I access or format the date?

There are a large range of time and date functions in PHP as you would request for something that is often needed to be referenced too.

If you want to get and print out the date, there are various ways of doing this, for instance using the date function itself.

Unfortunately, there are a huge number of parameters that can be passed corresponding to what information you require - e.g. the hours, minutes, seconds and how you want them all to be formatted.

Therefore you should really read the comprehensive information about time and date functions on the PHP.net site; here is the information for the date function:
