In PHP, how to get the epoch timestamp, the number of seconds passed since the epoch?
In PHP, you can use the time()
function.
ts = time();
To get the microsecond together too as a float number, use the microtime(true)
function.
ts2 = microtime(true);
Example:
$ php -a
Interactive shell
php > echo time() . PHP_EOL;
1491473013
php > echo microtime(true) . PHP_EOL;
1491473017.2061
