timestamp(int) to date(string) in php

This my code to generate current date.

$now= Time();
$dt=date("d", strtotime($now));
echo $dt;

It outputs 01 as d-m-Y outputs 01-01-1970 instead of current date.

$dt is string and $now is integer type. What should I do to get correct date and get it as integer type.

You don't need to convert time() to strtotime(). strtotime() accepts date as string. time() will return the current time in integer only.

Try with

$date = date('d', time());

You can try this if you want to get current date

$dt=date("d-m-Y", strtotime('today')); //dd-mm-yyyy
echo $dt;

OR

$current_date_in_int = Time(); 
$current_date_in_string = date('d-m-Y', $current_date_in_int); //dd-mm-yyyy
echo $current_date_in_string;
