I think I get you...
I went to www.php.net and used the HTML verision of the manual, heres what I now use.
as seen at my test page....
http://www.geocities.com/jc94062/
<?php
$day = date ("l");
$month = date ("F");
$daynumber = date ("d");
$daysuffix = date ("S");
$year = date ("Y");
$hour = date ("H");
$minsec = date ("i:s");
$date = ("$day $daynumber$daysuffix $month $year");
$time = ("$hour:$minsec");
?>
I then output in a table...
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td><?php echo "$date"; ?></td>
<td><?php echo "$time"; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
If you want to know what all the variables are, just do a date() and time() search at www.php.net
Hope that helps.
