getting the proper date format

[Dexie]

Hi all, Did this before, but it looks as though it diapeared somewhere? Can anyone help me get a php script, to show for example:

Tuesday, the 19th of July, 2005

This one?

[webmasterworld.com...]

Here you go ;)

echo date("l, \\t\he dS of F, Y");

[Dexie]

Many thanks for that my friend.

The other thread was for a date and time to the last half-hour, but this one would just be the current day and date.

THe code that you kindly put forward below - do I put anything before it all?

echo date("l, \\t\he dS of F, Y");

Also, is there any way that I can quickly do a search of *just* the php forum on WebmasterWorld please?

Dexie.

Put anything before it? Well, "echo" will print it out. If you want to assign it to a variable you can do that as well.

Searching? Here are some tips ...

I'm new to this, (and it isn't needed for printing, just viewing), are you saying that the *complete* code would be :

<?php

echo date("l, \\t\he dS of F, Y");
?>

On the search thingie, I already use the search facility on Google for WebmasterWorld, but would like to define it a little, *just* to search forum number 88 - any ideas?

[coopster]

Yeah, if you throw that script out there and open it in your browser it should display the date in a format you expect.

To search over forum88 only? Hmmm ... throw the word "PHP" in the keyword list ;)

[Dexie]

I'll give that code a try - thanks.

For the search, I thought that might have been a syntax, just to search this forum?

What about adding something like [inurl:forum88] to your google search (if you just want to search this section) .. I think that might do the trick.

Cheers Sned, I'll give that a shot as well ;-)

Many thanks Coopster, just tried the code, it works a treat. Much appreciated.

Dexie.

Hi Coopster,

Just looked at the code for today and it gives:

Monday, the 01st of August, 2005,

any ideas how I get rid of that zero at all please?

Dexie.
