Description

Retrieves the current time based on specified type.

• The 'mysql' type will return the time in the format for MySQL DATETIME field.

– The 'timestamp' or 'U' types will return the current timestamp or a sum of timestamp

• and timezone offset, depending on `$gmt`.

– Other strings will be interpreted as PHP date formats (e.g. 'Y-m-d'). If $gmt is a truthy value then both types will use GMT time, otherwise the output is adjusted with the GMT offset for the site.

Usage

$int|string = current_time( $type, $gmt );

Parameters

$type

( string ) required – Type of time to retrieve. Accepts 'mysql', 'timestamp', 'U', or PHP date format string (e.g. 'Y-m-d').

$gmt

( int|bool ) optional – Optional. Whether to use GMT timezone. Default false.

Returns

int|string Integer if $type is 'timestamp' or 'U', string otherwise.
