You can use either date or strftime .

(您可以使用date或strftime 。)

In this case I'd say it doesn't matter as a year is a year, no matter what (unless there's a locale that formats the year differently?)

(在这种情况下，我会说，无论什么年份都是一年都没关系（除非有一个地方以不同的方式格式化年份？）)

For example:

(例如：)

<?php echo date("Y"); ?>

On a side note, when formatting dates in PHP it matters when you want to format your date in a different locale than your default.

(另外，在PHP格式化日期时，如果要将日期格式设置为与默认语言不同的语言环境，则这很重要。)

If so, you have to use setlocale and strftime.

(如果是这样，您必须使用setlocale和strftime。)

According to the php manual on date:

(根据日期的php手册 ：)

To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date().

(要格式化其他语言的日期，您应该使用setlocale（）和strftime（）函数而不是date（）。)

From this point of view, I think it would be best to use strftime as much as possible, if you even have a remote possibility of having to localize your application.

(从这个角度来看，我认为最好尽可能使用strftime，如果你甚至有可能无法本地化你的应用程序。)

If that's not an issue, pick the one you like best.

(如果这不是问题，请选择您最喜欢的那个。)
