PHP：为整个应用程序设置默认日期时间格式

Question

I want to be able to conveniently change the default datetime format for my entire application.

How I plan to do this is by defining the format in a "constants" file that is included in all the other files. Then, I will use this format whenever I call my time formatting functions.

What are alternative implementations?

Answer 1

Extract the functionality into a function or even class. This function respectively class method then can be used to get your datetime string in your desired formatting in all of your scripts. If you then need to change your timezone or your formatting, you only need to change the function or class method.
