Give this a shot:

$Date = date("y/m/d h:m:i");
echo $Date;

You can format it how ever you want. Lots of different options. Check
out: HTTP://www.php.net/date for lots more info.

<?
$current_date = date("d/m/Y");
$current_time = date("H:i:s");
?>

http://www.php.net/date

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

Check out "date" function.

<?
echo date("r", time());
?>

Prints out nice local time, what you need can be made by changing the "r" option. Have a look at the manual for alternatives to "r" liek Y for year, etc...

so far

Current date/time for whom?

For your server, use php's date().

For the user, use javascript's date().

It's so cool to be multilingual. :-)

Um, not to pick nits, and being a newbie myself I'm really risking a lot
here by potentially exposing my ignorance, but was the purpose of the code
above to get the user to read the manual section? It sure worked for me
when I saw the output of the date command and couldn't believe that the
process I was running completed in just six seconds. It all boiled down to
changing (dare I say correcting?) "h:m:i" to "h:i:s" -- the "m" in question
related to the month in the date, not minutes in the time.

And thanks to everyone for being so willing to help and generous with
their time. I really appreciate it!

Jon

Ha! No, it was just a typo on Jason's part.

Funny stuff though....
