<p>Returns the current time as a UNIX timestamp, referenced either to your server’s
local time or any PHP supported timezone, based on the “time reference” setting
in your config file. If you do not intend to set your master time reference to
any other PHP supported timezone (which you’ll typically do if you run a site
that lets each user set their own timezone settings) there is no benefit to using
this function over PHP’s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">time()</span></code> function.</p>

<p>This function is identical to PHP’s <a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php">date()</a>
function, except that it lets you use MySQL style date codes, where each
code letter is preceded with a percent sign, e.g. <cite>%Y %m %d</cite></p>
<p>The benefit of doing dates this way is that you don’t have to worry
about escaping any characters that are not date codes, as you would
normally have to do with the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">date()</span></code> function.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$datestring</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;Year: %Y Month: %m Day: %d - %h:%i %a&#39;</span><span class="p">;</span>

will be used.</p>

<p>This function can take a number poorly-formed date formats and convert
them into something useful. It also accepts well-formed dates.</p>

pass a format string (the same type as the PHP <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">date()</span></code> function accepts)
as the second parameter.</p>
