php date_timestamp_get to seconds -

trying time in format of seconds in php

$date = date_create(); $now= date_timestamp_get($date);

output $now = 1454706668
think microseconds not sure (http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-timestamp-get.php seem missing bit of info)

i tryd few things non seem working right ( google failed me :) )

how convert seconds?

use php function

time()

returns current time measured in number of seconds since unix epoch (january 1 1970 00:00:00 gmt)
