String date current date/time?

Question

I am using $date = date(\"D M d, Y G:i\");.

When I echo $date, it shows the correct date/time. Now I need this as an string.

I have tr

Answer 1

The date() function already returns a string.

Doing this :

$date = date("D M d, Y G:i");

You'll have the current date in the $date variable, as a string -- no need for any additional operation.
