How do I display todays date on my website?

Another common enquiry, and once people did this all the time with JavaScript, if you are running PHP then why not do it through one line of code in your script.

The function you are after is called date, which has loads of different parameters that will return different elements of the date. For a full list, be sure to check out the manpage on the www.php.net site.

However to the question in hand:


<?php

$today = date('F j, Y');

echo "Todays date is: $today";

//Todays date is: Sep 18, 2007

?>
