date output store in variable problem
When I run following command
date
Output1 => Thu Sep 9 03:26:52 IST 2010
When I store in a varibale as
a=`date`
echo $a
output2 => Thu Sep 9 03:27:02 IST 2010
The differnece is, it is trimming the space when I am storing the output in varibale.
Output1 = Thu Sep 9 03:26:52 IST 2010
Output2 = Thu Sep 9 03:27:02 IST 2010
I want the exact output to be stored in the variable. Please help.
Regards
Pravin

DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3) 1 DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3)
DateTime::setTimestamp - Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public DateTime DateTime::setTimestamp (int $unixtimestamp)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
DateTime date_timestamp_set (DateTime $object, int $unixtimestamp)
Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp.
PARAMETERS
o $object
-Procedural style only: A DateTime object returned by date_create(3). The function modifies this object.
o $unixtimestamp
- Unix timestamp representing the date.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the DateTime object for method chaining or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$date = date_create();
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
NOTES
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
