Re: how to store my date in variables using locatime

Code: ( text )

($sec, $min, $hrs, $day, $month, $year) = (localtime) [0,1,2,3,4,5];
$date = sprintf("%04d-%02d-%02d\n", $year+1900, $month+1, $day);
print "$date";

The sprintf() function is used to format string/variables and return the formatted string to a variable.
