Issues with date?

So here is my code...

Code:

 
String d = "";
 
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-DD-YYYY");
   dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("CST"));
Date date = new Date();
 
d = dateFormat.format(date);
 

Here is the issue, in January it was working fine, 1-21-2013, 1-22-2013, etc but the issue is that in February the day didn't go back to 1. It's just been 2-32-2013 (on the 1st) 2-33-2013 (today)

How do I fix that?

 

The capitalization of the DateFormat pattern is incorrect. A capital "DD" returns the day of the current year, whereas a lowercase "dd" returns the day of the current month. Changing the pattern should make it return the desired output. The following website contains a chart listing all of the available date and time patterns:
