PHP: Problem with strtotime

Question

What\'s going on with strtotime here?

$today = date(\'m.d.y H:i\', time());
echo strtotime($today);

It does not output anything... What\'s

Answer 1

strtotime() is a function for formatting the date, before it is outputted. It seems like the date is already formated in the date() function, and that you make no attempt to format the date in the second line.

Correct code

$today = date("Y-m-d-H.i");
$datenumber = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($today));
$timenumber = date('H.i',strtotime($today));

You can echo all those variables.
