gmstrftime - Format a GMT/UTC time/date according to locale settings

SYNOPSIS

       string gmstrftime (string  $format, [int  $timestamp = time()])

DESCRIPTION

	Behaves the same as strftime(3) except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Eastern Standard Time
       (GMT -0500), the first line below prints "Dec 31 1998 20:00:00", while the second prints "Jan 01 1999 01:00:00".

PARAMETERS

	      o $format
		- See description in strftime(3).

	      o $timestamp
		- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a  $timestamp  is  not
		given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  a  string  formatted according to the given format string using the given $timestamp or the current local time if no timestamp is
       given. Month and weekday names and other language dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale(3).
