''string date ( string $format [, int $timestamp = time() ] )''

==== $format ====
This parameter determines what is returned by the functon. For example...
  * ''date('Y-m-d H:i:s')'' => 2013-06-19 09:32:07
  * ''date('jS M y')'' => 19th Jun 13
  * ''date('Y')'' => 2013
  * ''date('F')'' => June

==== $timestamp ====
The optional ''$timestamp'' parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of ''time()''.
