Time Stamps

[The1corrupted]

No matter what I do, I cannot wrap my head around time stamps... For instance..

[PHP]
$time=$_SERVER['request_time'];
[/PHP]
I think that's what it is... at any rate, how can I make a true time stamp with minutes and seconds?

you have to use the date function.

[PHP]date('d-m-Y H:i:s',$time);[/PHP]

Could I chop that down some like this:

[PHP]
date('i:s', $time);
[/PHP]

of course for more date function arguments check http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
