lonebyrd 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2006 I am trying to get a date and time to show up on my webpage, but for some reason, all I get is the name just above it. Here is the code, I know I must be a complete bafoon: <html><head><TITLE> Fantasized TeleVision</TITLE></head><body background="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/lonebyrd/TVF/Background.jpg"><center><h1><font color=red><u>Fantasized TeleVision</u></font></h1> </center><align="right">New Rork City</align><?php $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); ?></body></html> I know the code must be wrong somewhere, but I just cant figure it out. Can someone please help me out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notice the part of code I've hightlighted here.. See when you execute this statement - $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");, PHP simply extracts the current date/time and stores it in a variable called $today and does nothing else. You need to include a statement like echo that will actually PRINT this out on the webpage. So your code should look like: <?php $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); echo $today;?> That should do the trick Any more questions feel free to drop a line..

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted April 26, 2006 pretty much what M^E said but to help you a bit more and to clean it up a bit use this <?PHPecho date("D M d, Y H:i:s");?>also if you want you date and time to look more dynamic check this site out http://phptutorial.info/learn/datetime.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
