mktime() returns a timestamp based on the parameters, dates second parameter is a timestamp so the below should work just fine.

 

date("d-m-Y", mkdate());

 

if you were referring to date(z) as in date('z') just do date("z", mkdate())

yes... but that would return todays... i need to be able to return any day's date(z)...

if the date is in an english language format, you can use strtotime() which will return a timestamp that you can use with date().  otherwise, yes, mktime() does this using numerical values.  see the manual for the parameters:
