$the_date_time = new DateTime($date_string);
$the_date_time_in_ms = ($the_date_time->format('U') * 1000) +
    ($the_date_time->format('u') / 1000);

即使你使用的是32位PHP，这也是有效的:

list($msec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());

$time_milli = $sec.substr($msec, 2, 3); // '1491536422147'
$time_micro = $sec.substr($msec, 2, 6); // '1491536422147300'

注意，这里提供的不是整数，而是字符串。然而，这在许多情况下都很有效，例如在为REST请求构建url时。

如果需要整数，则必须使用64位PHP。

然后你可以重用上面的代码并强制转换为(int):

list($msec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());

// these parentheses are mandatory otherwise the precedence is wrong!
//                  ↓                        ↓
$time_milli = (int) ($sec.substr($msec, 2, 3)); // 1491536422147
$time_micro = (int) ($sec.substr($msec, 2, 6)); // 1491536422147300

或者你也可以用一些简单的句子:

$time_milli = (int) round(microtime(true) * 1000);    // 1491536422147
$time_micro = (int) round(microtime(true) * 1000000); // 1491536422147300

PHP 5.2.2 <

$d = new DateTime();
echo $d->format("Y-m-d H:i:s.u"); // u : Microseconds

PHP 7.0.0 < 7.1

$d = new DateTime();
echo $d->format("Y-m-d H:i:s.v"); // v : Milliseconds 

简单的回答是:

$milliseconds = floor(microtime(true) * 1000);

$the_date_time = new DateTime($date_string);
$the_date_time_in_ms = ($the_date_time->format('U') * 1000) +
    ($the_date_time->format('u') / 1000);

我个人使用这个:

public static function formatMicrotimestamp(DateTimeInterface $dateTime): int
{
    return (int) substr($dateTime->format('Uu'), 0, 13);
}
