You can use the PHP date function.

date('Y-m-d');

Up to my knowledge, there is no separate date function in codeigniter.

EDIT :

But if you want date in this format 13-04-05 [ yy-mm-dd ], Try this

date('y-m-d');

For more date formats, check this link PHP Date Formats

Try to use this is a generic format of DateTime

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

if you want the full date:

echo date('Y-m-d');

depends your date structure.

echo date('d-m-Y');

if you want year only, then echo date('Y'); is enough
