php code to display date .

[mike2010]

I'm still using an old school code on one of my .html pages to display the current date -

<?php
echo date("F j, Y");
?>

with the following in vhost.conf to get it to work - (on the html page)

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


The problem comes when I try to add

AddType 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' html

to .htaccess

It cancels out the php and the date no longer displays.

Could I get some advice on a more 2011 type approach ?

Have you considered using Javascript to display [webmasterworld.com] the time/date [webmasterworld.com], so that you won't even have to call your .html files as php applications?

update : bah, I tried it but I went back to the php version....as the javascript version just shows up as javascript code when 'viewing source'. The php version shows the actual date.

any other ideas ?

AddType 'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1' html

Use AddCharset [httpd.apache.org].
