Day/Date on website

TriedandTested · 19 Dec 2007 at 11:27

What's the best way of having a simple, small day and date on your website that updates itself? In the same font as the rest of the site.

Just something like: Wednesday, 19th December 2007

Thanks.

If you're using PHP, very easy, using the date function.

For your example:

Code:

<?php
  date('l, jS F Y');
?>

Or if you don't have php, there are lots of Javascript solutions.

Several available here:

/edit have a look here under the "Placement of the Script" section for information on how to use them

(for some season after following the link I have to reload the page to get the text correctly left aligned rather than centered)
