I'd suggest you not use '/' in the filename as it's the unix character to delimit directories.
A popular timestamp is this:
yyyymmdd.hhmmss
That way round means that it will be sorted by file first, then in date order.
The date command will output the info you want, call it as follows to get the format you specified below:
To get the format I've suggested:

gmstrftime
GMSTRFTIME(3) 1 GMSTRFTIME(3)gmstrftime - Format a GMT/UTC time/date according to locale settings
SYNOPSIS
string gmstrftime (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()])
DESCRIPTION
Behaves the same as strftime(3) except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Eastern Standard Time
(GMT -0500), the first line below prints "Dec 31 1998 20:00:00", while the second prints "Jan 01 1999 01:00:00".
PARAMETERS
o $format
- See description in strftime(3).
o $timestamp
- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not
given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string formatted according to the given format string using the given $timestamp or the current local time if no timestamp is
given. Month and weekday names and other language dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale(3).
EXAMPLES
Example #1
gmstrftime(3) example
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US');
echo strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "
";
echo gmstrftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "
";
?>
