What are some best practices for determining the current day of the week and time of day in PHP?

To determine the current day of the week and time of day in PHP, you can use the date() function with the 'l' format to get the day of the week and the 'H:i:s' format to get the time. This function will return the current day of the week and time based on the server's timezone settings. 

$currentDayOfWeek = date('l');
$currentTime = date('H:i:s');
echo "Today is $currentDayOfWeek and the time is $currentTime";
