PHP difference between time() and getTimestamp() object [Year 2038 bug] -

what difference between:

$now = time();

and

$now = new datetime(); $now->gettimestamp();

by taking account 32-bit int limitations (a.k.a year 2038 bug) safe use gettimestamp() in 32-bit system ?

edit:

for further information problem, check link: what unix timestamp , why use it?

what have tried? have done, confirm question?

simple enough:

$datetime = new datetime('5000-01-01'); var_dump($datetime->format('d.m.y')); var_dump($datetime->gettimestamp());

output:

string(10) "01.01.5000" bool(false)

so: no, not save in using timestamp datetime.

anyway: question might reference, can easy found out testing.

the sence datetime not unix timestamp. avoiding unix timestamp. see answer own link comments: what unix timestamp , why use it?
