Date to milliseconds in PHP

It maybe the simplest question but I'm struggling with this. I want to get the current time to millisecond for example 2016-03-04 11:57:00,00 without separators 2016030411570000

I've tried this date("YmdHisu") but it returns time to microseconds.

$date = new DateTime();
$dateTime = $date->format('YmdHisv');

How about:

$date = (new DateTime())->format('YmdHisv');

I've tried this date("YmdHisu") but it returns time to microseconds.

If you don't need the microseconds then just strip them:

substr(date("YmdHisu"), 0, -3);

But, because currently date() formats the value returned by time() that doesn't contain fractions of seconds, the result will always end with 000 (no milliseconds available).

You can get the date and the milliseconds as you need if you use date("YmdHis") to format the date and time part (whole seconds) and extract and concatenate the first 3 digits of the microseconds part returned by microtime():

echo(date("YmdHis").substr(microtime(FALSE), 2, 3));

like this? 

echo strtotime("2016-03-04 11:57:00") * 1000;

Output: 

1457089020000
