Is it possible to add word wrap in php date()

Question

I need to print result of function date('d-m-y H:i:s', $time) on two lines like this:

26-11-2019 
10:00:02

I try to add <br/> between 'd-m-y' AND 'H:i:s' doesn't help.

Of course the easiest way is to print date('d-m-y', $time)
date('H:i:s', $time) — mdBender, Nov 27 '19 at 05:28

Try this:

echo nl2br(date("d-m-y\nH:i:s", $time));

Note that I used double quotes instead of single quotes. This is because \n won't work with single quotes. For your reference: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php What is the difference between single-quoted and double-quoted strings in PHP?

You can use simple PHP date function with escape sequences <\b\r>

echo date('d-m-y <\b\r>H:i:s');

Output

27-11-19
