How do you get an array of the date and time?

Sometimes you might find it useful to be able to access an array of details relating to the time and date.

To do this you use the handy getdate function, like this:


<?php

$date = getdate();

echo $date['month'];//September

?>

There are a range of keys available to you in the associative array that results from calling getdate, for the full list check out the page on www.php.net - the most useful are year,month,mday,hours,minutes,seconds
