Displaying Date Problems

[Anon]

I'm trying to display the date with entries submitted into my table. To put the date in I use:
$day = gmdate("l jS of F");
print '<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=day VALUE=$day>';

To get it out I use an array $news[day]. I can get it to work when the form is not in PHP, but when I put the form in PHP so it can be a function, the date will only show the l (the day of the week, ie: Monday) and not the rest (js of F). What are my options?

I say forget all the gmdate stuff, format the date inside your table, or even, just enter any time into your table and retrieve it in your query
date("M y b") as date, stuff like that check out date functions in the manual
