In this article, I share the notes I put together as I was going through Date/Time component improvements in WordPress 5.3.
This will be useful for those that want to write custom code for getting the current date and time in the timezone set in WP settings, checking user-input time against the current time to determine if that was in the past or in the future etc.
What's covered:
- Timezone string
- Timezone of the site as a DateTimeZone object
- Current time as Unix timestamp
- Current time as a Date and time object (instance of DateTimeImmutable class) using the site's timezone
- Current date and time in the specified format taking into account the site's timezone setting
- Time since the current post was published in human-readable format
- Date and Time Comparison
Timezone string
Might return Region/Location string or ±NN:NN offset.
