php date() showing wrong day

Noticed that dates were off on a page and I can't figure out why.

Just doing this simple code

echo date("F m, Y: h:iA e");

Returns this:

July 07, 2013: 09:47PM America/New_York

The time is correct, the date is obviously behind (today being the 25th).

I checked the time on server

root@srv449 [~]# date
Thu Jul 25 21:48:42 EDT 2013

Any tips on where this could be thrown off? What's REALLY confusing me is that other pages where we use dates seem to be ok.

Also, doing 

echo time();

returns

1374803608

which seems correct.

You are outputing the month as the day here:

echo date("F m, Y: h:iA e");

It needs to be:

echo date("F d, Y: h:iA e");

m is month (which is 7 for July).

You want d (leading zeros) or j (without leading zeros):

echo date("F j, Y: h:iA e");

See date() format for more.
