Display The Current Date/time With a simple PHP code

[Unholy Prayer 0]

Use this code to display the current date and time.

<?php  $date = date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A');  echo "$date";?>

"l" would display the current day of the week such as Sunday. d displays the day of the month... such as 1 and S adds the appropriate suffix(st). /of simply displays the word "of". F displays the current month with no abbreviations while Y displays the four digit year(2007). "h" displays the current hour with leading zeros if necessary(Ex. 06 for 6 o'clock). "i" displays the minute of the hour with leading zeros if necessary. "s" displays the seconds with leading zeros if necessary and finally "A" displays if it is AM or PM in uppercase format. For a full list of time formats and explanations, visit PHP.net.

Hope this is useful for you guys.

Keep in mind that the time and date that this shows will be the time and date on the server so if you are living around the server it will be the same but the actual time may differ from place to place due to timezones, etc.

text changes based on the dateDisplay The Current Date/time

I am currently trying to design a website, its mainly to be used for a canteen, and I want to be able make it so the menus appear on the index page every day, because it is different for the days of the week, for example monday might be pasta with a tomato sauce, and on tuesday is say fish and chips.

I want to make it possible for the daily menu to change on its own, but I cannot find a code to use that is in CSS or HTML which are what I'm familiar with
