Something that can be very useful this time of the year. Keep the year of your site always up to date:

Adding this code to a .php-page:

Code: [Select]

<?php
    echo "&copy; ";
    echo date("Y");
    echo " globalfriendsonline.com";
?> Will give as result: © 2008 globalfriendsonline.com

That's a pretty useful start, but how would it look if you wanted to print the date as it does on the top of this page?

Use the following code for that:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
echo date("F j, Y, h:i:s A");
?>
F j, Y, h:i:s A? This may seem difficult at first sight, but: F=month, j=day and so on,for a full list of all characters to use, go to: http://php.net/date

Just to be clear for everyone, in php-pages you can just write html codes. Please note, your host needs to support PHP (4 or 5) for this to work.

Or MySQL Datetime

<?php $mysqltime = date ("Y-m-d H:i:s", $phptime); ?>

Or use POSIX strftime.


Or if you prefer not to use a function, in Perl:

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime;
$year += 1900;
$mon += 1;
 
my $datetime = sprintf "%02d/%02d/%04d %02d:%02d:%02d", $mon, $mday, $year, $hour, $min, $sec;

I use a javascript on some of sites to give date and time

Code: [Select]

<script language="JavaScript">
  <!--
    var now = new Date();
    var days = new Array(
      'Sunday','Monday','Tuesday',
      'Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
    var months = new Array(
      'January','February','March','April','May',
      'June','July','August','September','October',
      'November','December');
    var date = ((now.getDate()<10) ? "0" : "")+ now.getDate();
    function fourdigits(number) {
      return (number < 1000) ? number + 1900 : number;}
    today =  days[now.getDay()] + ", " +
       months[now.getMonth()] + " " +
       date + ", " +
       (fourdigits(now.getYear()));
     document.write(today);
  //-->
</script>

Thanks both for that valuable information!

I took the easy road and went to timeanddate.com and had them generate a line of code that would show the date/time on ME
