Is there a way I can get actual date?-CodePudding

I have a variable that outputs the date in the following format: Thursday, 01-Jan-70
I am using this to retrieve the date but it is getting the wrong date according to the date I select I want to get actual date
I am trying to Post date in my input field...

$dateValue = isset($_POST['dateSend']); 
$day = date('D, d-M-y', strtotime($dateValue));

Any idea of how I can do it?
