Question

current_time( string $type,  int|bool $gmt )

Retrieve the current time based on specified type.

---

description

The ‘mysql’ type will return the time in the format for MySQL DATETIME field. The ‘timestamp’ type will return the current timestamp. Other strings will be interpreted as PHP date formats (e.g. ‘Y-m-d’).

If $gmt is set to either ‘1’ or ‘true’, then both types will use GMT time. if $gmt is false, the output is adjusted with the GMT offset in the WordPress option.

The code snippet gives an Warning with “split” function because
the function was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.

Alternatives to this function include:

preg_split()

On using preg_split(), we get the required output. Code snippet below:

$blogtime = current_time( 'mysql' );
list( $today_year, $today_month, $today_day, $hour, $minute, $second ) = preg_split( "([^0-9])", $blogtime );
echo $hour;

For reference:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.split.php

PHP date formats accepted for $type are defined at http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php#refsect1-function.date-parameters

This example gets the current time and assigns the parameters to variables.

<?php 
$blogtime = current_time( 'mysql' ); 
list( $today_year, $today_month, $today_day, $hour, $minute, $second ) = split( '([^0-9])', $blogtime );
?>

Example of format of current_time( 'mysql' ):
