Hello everyone,
I'm trying to use the `date()` function in PHP to display the current date in the format "d.m.Y.", but for some reason, I'm getting the incorrect date. I have used the `strtotime()` function to generate the timestamp for the current time, which should be passed as the second argument for `date()`.
Here's the code I'm using:
```php
date("d.m.Y.", strtotime());
```
However, when I run this code, instead of getting the current date, I'm getting a different date altogether. I have checked the server time, and it seems to be correct. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Can anyone please help me figure out why I'm getting an incorrect date with this code? Am I missing something obvious in my syntax or understanding of these functions? I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hey there,
I had a similar issue in the past, and I managed to resolve it. The problem you're facing might be related to the second argument of the `strtotime()` function. When you pass an empty argument to `strtotime()`, it doesn't generate the timestamp for the current time.
To get the current timestamp, you need to pass the keyword `'now'` as the argument. So, your code should look like this:
By making this change, the `date()` function should now display the correct current date.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
