$date = new Zend_Date(); $timestamp = $date->getTimestamp(); echo "The current timestamp is: $timestamp";
$date_str = "2021-03-15 12:30:00"; $date = new Zend_Date($date_str); $timestamp = $date->getTimestamp(); echo "The timestamp for $date_str is: $timestamp";In this example, the string "2021-03-15 12:30:00" is converted into a Zend_Date object by passing it as an argument to the constructor. The getTimestamp() method is then called on this object to retrieve the corresponding Unix timestamp, which is then outputted to the console.
