Today, we are going to learn about easter_date.

So, what is easter_date() in PHP?

The easter_date() function returns the Unix timestamp for midnight on Easter of a specified year.
Syntax of this function:
easter_date(year) year - defines the year to calculate the midnight on Easter from. If the year parameter is omitted, the current year is used. (optional) Note: If the year is outside of the range for Unix timestamps (before 1970 or after 2037), this function will generate a warning. The easter_days() function can be used instead of easter_date() to calculate Easter for years which fall outside the range.

Example

It shows the basic use of this function.
