Anytime you have a question about a particular function in PHP  the easiest way to get quick answers is by visiting php net  which has great documentation on all of the language s capabilities   Looking up a function is easy  just visit http   php net  lt function name gt  and it will forward you to the appropriate place  For the date function  we ll visit http   php net date   We immediately learn a couple things about this function by examining its signature   string date   string  format    int  timestamp   time         First  it returns a string  That s what the first string in the above code means  Secondly  the first parameter is expected to be a string containing the format  There is an optional second parameter for passing in your own timestamp  to construct strings from some time other than now    date  d-m-Y      produces something like 03-12-2012   In this code  d represents the day of the month  with a leading 0 is necessary   m represents the month  again with a leading zero if necessary  And Y represents the full 4-digit year  All of these are documented in the aforementioned link   To satisfy your request of getting the hours  minutes  and seconds  we need to give a quick look at the documentation to see which characters represents those particular units of time  When we do that  we find the following   h   12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros    01 through 12 i   Minutes with leading zeros                      00 to 59 s   Seconds  with leading zeros                     00 through 59   With this in mind  we can no create a new format string   date  d-m-Y h i s       produces something like 03-12-2012 03 29 13   Hope this is helpful  and I hope you find the documentation has benefiting to your development as I have to mine

You can have both formats as an argument to the function date     date  d-m-Y H i s     Check the manual for more info   http   php net manual en function date php  As pointed out by  ThomasVdBerge to display minutes you need the  i  character
