Time Function

To follow up from the PHP date tutorial i will explain how exactly you output the current time and date's Unix timestamp, this can be very useful when inserting things into a database etc.

It's very simple to do and only requires one function, the time function.

That's it.

I use the time() function all the time because it allows me to put a code into the database that can be formatted into any date format i want.
