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;

    • Bethesda's Deathloop is free to claim on the Epic Games Store this week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store's Mega Sale promotion is in its final week, and that means mystery giveaways are soon ending too. For the finale, Epic Games has called in something big from Bethesda, with the Arkane-developed time loop adventure Deathloop coming in as the latest freebie for PC gamers. Alongside it, the indie adventure Ogu and the Secret Forest is also free. Developed by Arkane Lyon and published by Bethesda, Deathloop comes in touting an action-packed campaign involving plenty of time travel shenanigans. The game is set on the mysterious island of Blackreef, where two rival assassins, Colt and Julianna, are trapped in a time loop. The player, as Colt, has to figure out how to eliminate eight targets within a single day to escape the loop. Each of the assassinations can be taken care of in many ways, including stealth, traps, accidents, or simply going in guns blazing. Aside from gunplay, the title also makes use of supernatural systems very similar to the studio's Dishonored franchise, letting players teleport, go invisible, use telekinesis, and more. There is a multiplayer twist here too, where players, as Julianna, can invade the campaigns of others to take the role of the rival assassin, flipping the tables on the main character and his plans. As for Ogu and the Secret Forest, this is a 2024-released indie adventure featuring hand-drawn characters and various types of puzzles. The 2D game involves befriending characters across a fantasy land as baby Ogu, with plenty of exploration, puzzle solving, and boss battles available. The Deathloop and Ogu and the Secret Forest giveaways are now live on the Epic Games Store for all PC gamers. The promotion is slated to last until June 12, giving you seven days to claim a copy for your library permanently. While the summer mystery giveaways are ending, regular freebies will continue to arrive from the Epic Games Store. When this one comes to an end on Thursday, the SEGA-published humorous hospital simulation entry Two Point Hospital is incoming as the next giveaway.
    • If graphics is all that matters to you go watch a Pixar movie or something, you sound like an absolute baby right now. The game looks great.
    • For sure!! My take is... If the dev choses to use Apple's payment services, sure, Apple can take a cut. Apple disallowing 3rd party payment processing directly within an app, kind of a gray area, its anti-competitive sure, but I can at least see arguments on both sides. Apple blocking or attempting to take a cut from weblinks is pure evil, there is no possible justification at all. Heck, if we take this to the logical next step, Apple should start demanding a cut of retail transactions if the user used GPS directions on an iPhone to get to the store.
