使用今天的日期获取随机时间

Question

I need to get random time from today. I have tried using this

$today = date('YmdHi');
$startDate = date('YmdHi', strtotime('-0.5 days'));
$range = $today - $startDate;
$rand = rand(0, $range);
$smthing=$startDate + $rand;

return $smthing;

But it is not working correctly.

For example i want to generate todays date and whatever from it.

Expected output

2015:25:09 14:10:20

2015:25:09 08:12:26

2015:25:09 01:02:24

Answer 1

use

$date=date('Y:m:d');
$sttime=strtotime($date.' '.'00:00:01');
$entime=strtotime($date.' '.'23:59:59');
$rand=rand($sttime,$entime);
echo $rand_time=date('Y:m:d H:i:s',$rand);

As per your question it will generate time intervals between the current day only
