Hi:
Hi Folks,
Newbie question :
- how do I get and display the current date?
- how do I get and display the current time?
I see the getdate function - but I'm not sure if this is the right
function
or how to display it....
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php
Give this a shot:
$Date = date("y/m/d h:m:i");
echo $Date;
You can format it how ever you want. Lots of different options.
Check
out: HTTP://www.php.net/date for lots more info.
Um, not to pick nits, and being a newbie myself I'm really
risking a lot
here by potentially exposing my ignorance, but was the purpose of
the code
above to get the user to read the manual section? It sure worked
for me
when I saw the output of the date command and couldn't believe that
the
process I was running completed in just six seconds. It all boiled
down to
changing (dare I say correcting?) "h:m:i" to "h:i:s" -- the "m" in
question
related to the month in the date, not minutes in the time.
And thanks to everyone for being so willing to help and generous
with
their time. I really appreciate it!

Ha! No, it was just a typo on Jason's part.
Funny stuff though....
Now... Just exactly what makes you think it was a typo oh Master
Brown? I could have intentionally put that in there just as Jon
suggested to get the OP to read the web page since it wouldn't output
what they expected. I have been known to be crafty like that in the
past :)
In this particular case it was a simple matter of a quick typing in an
e-mail program and a faulty memory I would claim a "Senior Moment" but
I dare say that most everyone on this list is older then me. Being
born in raised in the decade of the "Hair Bands" and all :)
(Is it time to go home yet?)
