how to show current date in php

just copy the below code and place anywhere you want the date to appear. Shows date in dd-mm-yyyy format.

<?php echo date('d-m-Y'); ?> //Prints date in DD-MM-YYYY format
<?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?> //Prints date in YYYY-MM-DD format which is used in Mysql database

if you want this as a default value in any input box when working with forms such as a date input box use this

<input type="date" name="" value="<?php echo date('d-m-Y'); ?>">
