PHP echo date as a string

Question

How do I echo a date as a string such as 07/18(month/day)?

This isn't converting the time() function into a string.... – Brandy Jul 18 '14 at 18:00 — Brandy, Jul 18 '14 at 18:00

<?php

echo date('m/d');

?>

If you already have the timestamp, just use it in the second parameter:

<?php

echo date('m/d', time());

?>

How did you answer this question *after* it was closed as a dupe? – John Conde Jul 18 '14 at 18:02
Awesome thanks! I didn't notice the second parameter – Brandy Jul 18 '14 at 18:03
John, probably because the page was already opened. Not sure. Brandon, np! Happy coding – iautomation Jul 18 '14 at 18:05
