Or you easily use PHP.

Anyway, may I ask why you need the date on your page? Most people can look in the bottom right of their screen for the date on Windows (Hover over the time and it shows) so why does your website need to tell them again?

Have a look at this link....

http://uk2.php.net/date

Or just google "php time and date".

Thanks for your help.

Firstly the reason I thought it would be a good idea to add the date was because I thought it may look good.

Secondly I have created my page in CSS and HTML, will the php code work within the html?

Regards. John.

You would have to change your site to php, ill find a link for you in a second mate

If you wanted to use php when you would have to replace the .html extension with .php, this also means that you would have to use a local server to test your pages.

If you used Javascript then you can just use this in the HTML page without changing to php, this was why i recommended this method

If you wish to use PHP then replace this code on your page.

HTML: Select all

 <p><b><font color="#FEE1D5">Today's date: 30 December 2007</font></b></p>

with this

HTML: Select all

<p><b><font color="#FEE1D5">Today's date: <?php echo date("l, F d, Y h:i" ,time());
?>
</font></b></p>

You would then have to save the file with a .php extension so your page would become

www.usbtvtuner.co.uk/tvstick6.php

If you used this code on eveery page then the php extension would have to be used.
This is assuming your host supports PHP.

Cheers
