Maybe this will help you

http://uk2.php.net/date

AFAIK theres no way to do it in HTML

Yea...sorry if I sound like an idiot...but I tried that, and well, I have no clue how to implement that.

Would you mind posting the exact code (so I can copy+paste) in here for me to have it formatted like I have it?

I know that is asking a lot, and if you don't want to or can't, that is fine. Either way, thanks for the link and trying to help!

<?php
$today = date("m.d.y"); 
//replace the current static date with
echo = ("$today");
?>

^ That should work. I've never done active time/date stuff before but try it. Keep it mind that the variable ($today) and the echo statement should both be inside php tags (<?php, ?>)

Im not sure how clear that is to you, let me know.

Your file extension has to be .php

You would have to use javascript if you wanted to keep the .html or .htm

Thats PHP code he gave you. You can copy/paste that and it will work if..

* You insert it into a PHP file filename.php

* Your server has PHP installed.

if you're still having trouble with this let me know... I know there's gotta be a simple way to do this with Javascript and it'd be an interesting learning project for myself :yes:

Check this one out, it looks like what you're talking about:

Try the code bellow... it works like it does on www.hp.com

copy the code bellow to your page.

&lt;script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript"&gt;

&lt;!--

// Array of day names

var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");

var monthNames = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December");

var dt = new Date();

var y  = dt.getYear();

// Y2K compliant

if (y &lt; 1000) y +=1900;

// --&gt;

&lt;/script&gt;

add the code bellow where you want your date to show.

&lt;script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"&gt;document.write(monthNames[dt.getMonth()] + " " + dt.getDate() + ", " + y);&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

    • I've put it behind a login for the time being.  I had something like 600,000 requests from just from Alibaba IP addresses that didn't clarify they were bots or scrapers, and so not easy to block using user agent filtering.  I didn't have any issues with bandwidth or accessibility, but that's 600,000 requests just from one cloud provider made to my spinning rust hard drives, that I have to personally pay for when they die, by bots being ran by corrupt mega corporations ignoring my polite requests that they not scrape me and that the information only be accessed by real humans. If any of y'all here were actually using my Kiwix mirror, I have no issue whatsoever creating a username and password for you, just hit me up using one of the methods listed on my personal site and I'll make one for you. https://marcusadams.me
