PHP Date Format

This is another one of those things I made because I need it all the time and can never find it. We use unix/perl/PHP date formats for all sorts of fun stuff (my forum is one of those places), and this page wll show you how to format those numbers. For a more detailed explination, look here.

Format	Result	Notes
F jS, Y, g:i a	September 2nd, 2010, 10:50 am	Basic date and time
m.d.y	09.02.10	Simple month.day.year with leading zeros
l, F jS G:i:s	Thursday, September 2nd 10:50:15	Day, date, and 24-hour (military) time
