[SOLVED] date problem

[vampke]

Hi guys,

 

I'm trying to get a very simplr function in this script i'm writing, but for some reason I don't get the right result.

 

I have this code

$day = date(Y-M-D);

and a bit further in the html code:

<?php echo ($day); ?>

 

this returns the value "0". Why won't it give me today's date?

its

 

day = date("Y-m-d");

thanks that was fast!

but it doesn't do what i need:

I want to get the format so thoday's date will return 2007-11-16, your solution returns 2007-Nov-Fri

 

I actually need to compare this with another $date, is this possible? or should i go about this differently?
