I have a variable and I’m trying to assign a formatted date to it

Question

I have a variable and I’m trying to assign a formatted date to it … like now() but formatted, so I’m trying this:

$mydate = date("F j, Y, g:i a");

My problem is that $mydate seems to be empty. I need it to return the Now() date time.

What I’m I missing?

  <?php
      $mydate = date("F j, Y, g:i a");
      echo $mydate;
  ?>
