How to use getFullYear, getMonth and getDate in PHP?

Question

I know how to use getFullYear();, getMonth(); and getDate(); in JavaScript:

$year = ($hFdate.getFullYear());
$month = ($hFdate.getMonth());
$day = ($hFdate.getDate());

How can I use these functions in PHP?

Answer 1

assuming your $hFdate is a string of date

        $hFdate="2018-09-14";
        $year = date('Y',strtotime($hFdate));
        $month = date('m',strtotime($hFdate));
        $year = date('d',strtotime($hFdate));
