PHP gmdate() Function

The gmdate() function is identical to the date() function, except it always returns the time in **Coordinated Universal Time (UTC/GMT)** instead of server local time. This is crucial for web applications that operate internationally.

EXAMPLE

// Comparison between local and UTC time
echo "Server local time: " . date("H:i:s") . "\n";
echo "Universal time (UTC): " . gmdate("H:i:s") . "\n\n";

echo "Full entry in UTC format:\n";
// l (lowercase L) prints the full name of the day
echo gmdate("l, j. F Y \a\t H:i:s");

// AM/PM example
echo "\nMorning/Afternoon: " . gmdate("A");
