I just want the simple date() format

[ted_chou12]

I know how to choose specific date format like this: date("m/d/y h:i a"), but what if i just want the simple date format, eg. 1194059 like those?

by the  way, i want it to milli seconds, or as accurate as possible. but like what i said above, I just want a string of numbers.

Can use microtime function

[code]<?php
$now = strtotime("now");
$micro = microtime($now);
echo $micro;
?>[/code]

not sure if that is what you want

okay, thanks, btw, how accurate is micro time?

[craygo]

2 decimal places so to the hundredth of a second.

<?php
$d=date('dmoHis');
$t=gettimeofday();
$t=$t[usec];
$tod=$d.$t;
echo "The exact time is: ".$tod;
?>

This one was easy right out of the manual

gives:

ddmmyyyyhhmmssuuuuuu
