Hi there. I was reading an ebook about PHP and I want to learn it and I encountered this:
[HIGHLIGHT="PHP"]The time is
<?php echo date('H:i:s');?>
and the date is
<?php echo date('j F Y');?>
[/HIGHLIGHT]
What does the H, i, s, j,F, Y mean?
I mean ok the :
H = Hour (I think 24 hour clock as it's capital)
s = seconds
Y= year
but how am I supposed to know the others? Do those mean anything? or just letters that the people that invented PHP chose?

There's a description about the date()-function on this page, including descriptions of each letter...

j = Day of the month without leading zeros
F = A full textual representation of a month, such as January or March
i = Minutes with leading zeros
When programming with PHP your best resource will be PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor

I doubt anyone remembers all of them, I sure as heck don't. But you can always check the PHP manual for reference.

I can't remember them at all. I always use the manual. But I'm not working with it often neither.

It is impossible to remember all of these. Once you know PHP you will use php.net more than anything else.

I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

Do you know how you got that dent, in your top lip? Way back, before you were born, I told you a secret, then I put my finger there and I said "Shhhhh!"
