Leading Zeros in days

[garfield213]

In the date() function, j is day of the month w/o leading zeros, but none of the documentation i read says how to put leading zeros into the day. how can i do this? my database wants them formatted this way

if(date("j") < 10) {
   $date = "0".date("j");
}
else {
   $date = date("j");
}

yeah it will work but its a waste of space when u only need change one letter. i only remembered that letter as i was only formatting dates a couple hours ago.
