You can use the setTime()
method along with the value 0
for hours, minutes, and seconds to set the time portion of a DateTime object to midnight:
$date = new DateTime();
$date->setTime(0, 0, 0);
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'); // Output: 2021-11-20 00:00:00
In the example above, a new DateTime object is created with the current date and time. Then, the setTime()
method is used to set the hours, minutes, and seconds to 0
. Finally, the format()
method is used to display the new value of the DateTime object, which should be midnight.
