Putting Date On A Website

[sparkele]

Hello. If anyone has the code to post the Date in this format:

November 16, 2000

Please post the code.

Thanks

Can you use server side includes?

If so then:

<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"-->

Do you mean your server can run ASP, Perl, CFM, PHP, and Python scripts?

Really, you need to know whether or not your host supports SSI. If you are paying your host, you most likely have SSI support, as well as one or two of the above.

I do pay for my website.

I host sparkele on my server, and yes, he has SSI, PHP, Perl, etc. support.

Also, I can give you (sparkele) a date script if the above doesn't work. Just let me know, it's a JavaScript.

Will that work on NT/W2K servers?

[petesmc]

If you have SSI enabled, that should work on all servers, You just need to find out whether you have SSI

[westmich]

I thought the 'echo' command was something used in Perl / Unix.

Almost every server has SSI (except most free servers). SSI has become one of the most adaptable and easy-to-impliment languages. The SSI script should work.

If not, Date() functions in JavaScript and VBScript are a SNAP.

echo is used in PHP and SSI on any server that has those installed.

I just found my new year resolution - one day I'll be able to say that!

[goober]

D,

lol! they are sooo easy.

Talk to me sometime! sean@interfall.com

Thanks for that, goober - I only started JS this week, so I've lots to learn before I can say it's a snap!

[goober]

Dreuby,

Well, I may have sounded a bit...well, conceited when I said that. JavaScript is definately no the easiest language to learn..I can guaruntee it. If you want a link to help you learn it, I'd try Earthweb.com's JavaScript Primers, by Joe Burns, PhD. This link taught me everything I know about JavaScript, for free! I believe it certainly could help you. Check it out here.

Hope this helped!

[dreuby]

Thanks - I'll bookmark that one straight away. And perhaps I'll make that a two-year New Year resolution!

D,

I'd say 6 month, maximum, if you're committed to your studies..Good idea to be humble, though (I'm still workin' on that one).
