Date/time functions HELP on Windows NT4

[Darrenc]

I am developing a shopping cart on windows NT 4.0 with IIS 4 and PHP 4.3. I need to display the time/date stamp to each order as it is submitted in my .php. I have tried all of the PHP functions for windows nt (date(), time(), localtime(), ect..) with no success. Could some one please help. all I need is to create a $Today variable as a string of the current time/date.

Thanks in advance

I don't see why [man]date[/man] wouldn't work. If we could see the troublesome code, that might help.

This is the section of code where I am havving the problem.

<?php

//This part cut out<<<<<<<<<<<

$today = date ("l, F j, Y");//<------this is the function call
//$today = "Sunday, January 3, 2024";
//echo $REQUEST[$QUANTITY_1] ;
import_request_variables('p', 'p');
$strMessageBody .= "A new order has been received. A summary of this order appears below.\r\n";
$strMessageBody .= "\r\n";
$strMessageBody .= "Order Date: $today \r\n";//<---- this is the only place it is used:
$strMessageBody .= " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= "Ship To: \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= "-------- \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_first'] . " " . $POST['b_last']. " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_addr'] . " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_addr2']. " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_city'] . ", " . $POST['b_state'] . " " . $POST['b_zip'] . " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_phone'] . " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_fax'] . " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " " . $POST['b_email'] . " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= " \r\n";
$strMessageBody .= "Qty Product ID - Product Name\r\n";
