How do I display the time?

[Anon]

I have been looking through the manual and it seems to be extremelyconfusing. The array localtime function is what I would use I guess? But when I test it out, I am not using the correct syntax or format I guess, because it returns a parse error.

Basically, I want to place the time in a string variable and just place it inside of a table at the top of the page, I thought that would be simple, but LOL, nope.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I am having a gret deal of difficulty with it and I have been trying for a few days now.

PS- I was going to have a realtime constantly changing clock, but that would require a loop, and I think it would be a bit too difficult for me since I am a newbie at PHP.

You probably want to use the date() function with whatever formatting you want...

i.e. echo date("H:i:s");
