(2) Print the timestamp of yesterday at this time strtotime("-1 day")
Current time:
1.echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",time())

As can be seen from the above example, strtotime can parse the date and time description of any English text into a Unix timestamp. We combine the mktime() or date() formatted date and time to obtain the specified timestamp to achieve what is needed. Date time.
I hope that after the introduction of this article, you can master the usage of strtotime function.
