Fetch current date and time only in PHP

Question

I want to fetch only date and time from this object:

$current=new DateTime

Will display:

DateTime Object ( [date] => 2014-06-06 17:35:08 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Asia/Singapore )

I want to fetch only date. How can I do that? I tried $current->date but got an error message:

UUndefined property: DateTime::$date

Answer 1

If you want the current date you need to do something like this:

$dt = new DateTime();
$date = $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

See more information at documentation.
