Set time in php to 00:00:00

Question

I need to display the time but it must start from 00:00:00? I\'ve got the following but it uses the current time.

print(date(\"H:i:s\"));

Answer 1

date() uses the current time when you don't pass in an explicit timestamp. See the optional argument in the date documentation.

If you want to explicitly format midnight, use:

date("H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0));
