getdate() ...HELP!

[Anon]

i need date in 6 digits
ie 01.01.02

using this getdate() it reads 1.1.2002

$today = getdate();
$mday = $today['mday'];
$mon = $today['mon'];
$year = $today['year'];
$date = "$mday.$mon.$year";
echo"$date";

how can i sort this out!?

You could do it with getdate() and printf(), but it would be far simpler to use date() and a format string.

echo date('d.m.y');
