time() in PHP gets a number. This number represents the total number of seconds since 1970-01-01. It’s strange, isn’t it?
But it’s convenient for calculation.
To find out the previous day The time is time()-60*60*24;
To find out the time of the previous year is time()*60*60*24*365
So how to convert this number into a date For the format, you need to use the date function
$t=time();
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$t);
