set it to a variable and it should be ok:
$now = strtotime("now");
from there you can format it however you want:
echo date("F j, Y",$now);
php.net/date will give you the different masks for the date() function.

Subject: [php_mysql] New to dates in PHP
I want to get the current Unix time stamp.
Fist I tried the example from the PHP site:-
strtotime("now")
This kills the PHP and I end up with a blank page with absolutely no
HTML
So the I tried:-
strtotime(date("d/m/Y"))
This produced a null result but didn't crash the page. I'm tearing
what's left of my hair out, can anyone advise me what I'm doing wrong?
Charlie
