In PHP, how to get the epoch timestamp, the number of seconds passed since the epoch?
In PHP, you can use the time() function.
ts = time();
To get the microsecond together too as a float number, use the microtime(true) function.
ts2 = microtime(true);

php > echo microtime(true) . PHP_EOL;
1491473017.2061
