11-15-2010

If you want the date to be in all numbers well use m for the month, d for the day and Y for the year. If you only want to display the last two digits of the year use y. Using y would output 11-15-10.

<?php echo date("m-d-Y"); ?>

Keep in mind that using d will output the day leading with 0 if the day is before 10. Example: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09. If you dont want the leading 0 to display, use j instead.
