Use this code to display the current date and time.
CODE <?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.
