$today = date("m.d.y");                           // 03.10.01
$today = date("j, n, Y");                         // 10, 3, 2001

$today = date("H:i:s");                           // 17:16:18
$today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");                     // 2001-03-10 17:16:18 (le format DATETIME de MySQL)

Example 2: date in php

FYI: there's a list of constants with predefined formats on the DateTime object, for example instead of outputting ISO 8601 dates with:

<?php
echo date('c');
?>

or

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO');
?>

You can use

<?php
echo date(DateTime::ISO8601);
?>

instead, which is much easier to read.
