How can PHP developers ensure that their code efficiently handles and displays news articles based on UNIX timestamps for different time periods?

To efficiently handle and display news articles based on UNIX timestamps for different time periods, PHP developers can use the `strtotime` function to convert the UNIX timestamp into a readable date format. They can then compare the timestamps to determine if the article falls within the desired time period. Finally, they can use conditional statements to display the articles accordingly. 

// Example code to handle and display news articles based on UNIX timestamps
$articles = [
    ['title' => 'Article 1', 'timestamp' => 1598918400], // September 1, 2020
    ['title' => 'Article 2', 'timestamp' => 1604188800], // November 1, 2020
    ['title' => 'Article 3', 'timestamp' => 1612137600], // February 1, 2021
];

$current_time = time();

foreach ($articles as $article) {
    $article_time = $article['timestamp'];
    $article_date = date('F j, Y', $article_time);

    if ($article_time >= strtotime('-1 month', $current_time)) {
        echo $article['title'] . ' - ' . $article_date . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
