How can PHP be used to break down a timestamp into individual components like years, months, and days?

To break down a timestamp into individual components like years, months, and days in PHP, you can use the `DateTime` class along with the `format` method to extract the desired components. By creating a `DateTime` object from the timestamp and then using the `format` method with the appropriate format characters (like 'Y' for year, 'm' for month, and 'd' for day), you can easily retrieve the individual components. 

$timestamp = 1626840000; // Example timestamp
$date = new DateTime();
$date->setTimestamp($timestamp);

$year = $date->format('Y');
$month = $date->format('m');
$day = $date->format('d');

echo "Year: $year, Month: $month, Day: $day";
