How does the Unix Timestamp standard impact the usage of time() across different programming languages?

The Unix Timestamp standard represents time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970. This standard is commonly used across different programming languages to ensure consistency in time representation. When using the time() function in PHP, it returns the current Unix Timestamp. This makes it easy to work with time across different languages as they can all interpret the Unix Timestamp in a similar manner.

// Get the current Unix Timestamp
$timestamp = time();
echo $timestamp;
