PHP strtotime date today, which is better?
<p>I was wondering if one method is better than the other when it comes to getting the timestamp of the date today.</p>

<p>Which is better?</p>

<pre><code>$timestamp = strtotime("now");
</code></pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre><code>$date_today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$timestamp = strtotime($date_today);
</code></pre>

<p>Is there even a difference?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!</p>
