MongoDate
PHP Manual

MongoDate::__construct

Creates a new date.

Note:

This extension that defines this method is deprecated. Instead, the MongoDB extension should be used. Alternatives to this method include:

  • MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime::__construct

Description

public MongoDate::__construct ([ int $sec = time() [, int $usec = 0 ]] )

Creates a new date. If no parameters are given, the current time is used.

Parameters

sec

Number of seconds since the epoch (i.e. 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00.000 UTC).

usec

Microseconds. Please be aware though that MongoDB's resolution is milliseconds and not microseconds, which means this value will be truncated to millisecond resolution.

Return Values

Returns this new date.

Examples

Example #1 MongoDate::__construct example

This example demonstrates creating a new date with the current time and a new date with a given time.

<?php

$d = new MongoDate();
echo "$d\n";
$d = new MongoDate(1234567890);
echo "$d\n";
$d = new MongoDate(strtotime("2009-05-01 00:00:01"));
echo "$d\n";

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

0.23660600 1235685067
0.00000000 1234567890
0.00000000 1241150401
