Here is a single line of code to print out the date in the following mm/dd/yyyy format.

$day = 3; $month = 4; $year = 2021; printf("%s", date('m/d/Y', strtotime("$day-$month-$year")));

OR

$day = 23; $month = 12; $year = 2021; printf("%s", date('m/d/Y', strtotime("$month/$day/$year")));

Print factorial of any given integer
