(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
gmmktime — Get Unix timestamp for a GMT date
Description
int
$hour,?int
$minute = null,?int
$second = null,?int
$month = null,?int
$day = null,?int
$year = null): int|false
Identical to mktime() except the passed parameters represents a GMT date. gmmktime() internally uses mktime() so only times valid in derived local time can be used.
Like mktime(), arguments may be left out in order from right to left, with any omitted arguments being set to the current corresponding GMT value.
Calling gmmktime() without arguments is deprecated. time() can be used to get the current timestamp.
