PHP equivalent of JavaScript getTime() [duplicate]

Question

Suppose I'm running the following JavaScript getTime() function

<script language="JavaScript">
var $x = Math.round((new Date()).getTime()/1000);
</script>

What would the equivalent code in PHP look like?

Answer 1

Try something like this:

echo number_format(microtime(true)*1000,0,'.','');

or because you are dividing by 1000, most probably you need this:

echo number_format(microtime(true),0,'.','');

Answer 2

<?php
$x = time(); // seconds
$x = microtime(); // milliseconds
?>

Check out time() and microtime().
