PHP date(): minutes without leading zeros

Question

I\'d like to know if there is a formatting letter for PHP\'s date() that allows me to print minutes without leading zeros, or whether I have to manuall

Answer 1

$current_date = Date("n-j-Y");
echo $current_date;

// Result m-d-yy

9-10-2012

Answer 2

My Suggestion is Read this beautiful documentation it have all details of php date functions

Link of Documentation

And as per your question you can use i - Minutes with leading zeros (00 to 59) Which return you minutes with leading zero(0).

And Also introducing [Intval()][2] function returns the integer value of a variable. You can not use the intval() function on an object

Answer 3

use PHP's absolute value function:

abs( '09' ); // result = 9

abs( date( 'i' ) ); // result = minutes without leading zero
