@date - Date Formatting

The @date directive in Ahmed PHP Template Engine allows you to format dates in a human-readable way.

Syntax

@date(format, timestamp)

• format: The date format following PHP's date() function syntax.

• timestamp: (Optional) A Unix timestamp. If omitted, the current date and time are used.

Example

@set(currentTime, 1711825200) // Example Unix timestamp

<p>@date('Y-m-d', currentTime)</p>
<p>@date('d/m/Y H:i:s')</p>

Output

<p>2024-03-30</p>
<p>30/03/2024 14:00:00</p>

Notes

• The format string follows PHP's date() function patterns.

• If no timestamp is provided, it defaults to the current time.

• Useful for displaying timestamps in a user-friendly format.
