// Get the MySQL date format $dateFormat = getMySQLDateFormat(); echo $dateFormat; // Output: Y-m-d
// Set the date format to be used by MySQL ini_set('date.default_latitude', 'Y-m-d H:i:s'); // Get the MySQL date format $dateFormat = getMySQLDateFormat(); echo $dateFormat; // Output: Y-m-d H:i:sIn this example, we are first setting the date format to be used by MySQL using the ini_set function. We are setting the 'date.default_latitude' configuration option to 'Y-m-d H:i:s', which is a custom date format that includes the time as well. Then we are calling the getMySQLDateFormat function and assigning its result to the $dateFormat variable. Finally, we are printing the value of $dateFormat to the screen. The output will be "Y-m-d H:i:s", which is the custom date format we set using the ini_set function. Package/Library: This function is a built-in function in PHP and does not require any external package or library.
