Weird results for 2 lines of damn code

Hi everyone,
This "very simple" program is driving me nuts, heres what i am doing:
1.making a timestamp with the current time.
2.reading from the timestamp and trying to "render" the date again

$ryan=strtotime ("now"); echo $ryan."<br>";
echo strftime( "%G-%m-%a %H:%M:%S", $ryan)."<br>";

This is the result:
-10-Fri 02:29:33

the month part,friday part and the time is correct....why no year?
Where am i going wrong?

Cheers,
-Ryan

Replace %G _with_ %Y

You don't want to use %G for the year, there are cases where the
year will be wrong if you are using it with %m %a.

See the example 2 in strftime
http://php.net/strftime

use %Y instead.
