On the other hand, the Y-M-D (year, month, day) format is used in Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hungary, Lithuania and Iran, and is also used secondarily in some countries in Europe and Asia.

php $currentDate = date('Y-m-d'); echo $currentDate; This will output the current date in the format YYYY-MM-DD , such as 2023-03-14. We can specify a different format by using a different format string as the first argument to the date() function.
