How does the use of timestamps impact the retrieval of month and weekday names in PHP?

When retrieving month and weekday names in PHP using timestamps, you need to use the date() function along with the timestamp and the appropriate format characters ('F' for month names and 'l' for weekday names). This allows you to convert the timestamp into the desired month and weekday names. 

// Retrieve month name from timestamp
$timestamp = time();
$monthName = date('F', $timestamp);
echo $monthName;

// Retrieve weekday name from timestamp
$weekdayName = date('l', $timestamp);
echo $weekdayName;
