[RESOLVED] HTML entities in date()

[Ian_Moody]

Is there a way to put HTML entities in the date() so I could have

YYYY–MM–DD

as the outputted code. I tried

date('Y–m–d')

but it just outputs each character and uses some as date values, while

date('Y'–'m'–'d')

comes up with errors because of the colons.

try this:

echo date('Y \&#\8\2\1\1\; m \&#\8\2\1\1\; d');

and I'd suggest checking up on:

strftime

Thanks a lot that worked perfectly.
