current date - simple text

[longman]

Hi guys,

How can i have the current day date in text format that updates automatically every day? in this format, example "Monday, July 2, 2018"

Thanks!

Have you looked in Ready-to-use-Javascript? 'Basic Date'

I was gonna avoid using Java script, so that's the only way, right?

My aim was using less and less java scripts on my pages.

You will either need to use some form of scripting such as javascript or php.

Make sure your page type is php, eg: index.php

Select Insert HTML , and place the the code block wherever you wish to have the date displayed.

Insert this code: (Change the font size and color as you wish)

<SPAN STYLE="color: gold; font-size: 16pt">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var
month = new Array();
month[0]="Jan";
month[1]="Feb";
month[2]="Mar";
month[3]="Apr";
month[4]="May";
month[5]="June";
month[6]="July";
month[7]="Aug";
month[8]="Sept";
month[9]="Oct";
month[10]="Nov";
month[11]="Dec";
var
day = new Array();
day[0]="Sunday";
day[1]="Monday";
day[2]="Tuesday";
day[3]="Wednesday";
day[4]="Thursday";
day[5]="Friday";
day[6]="Saturday";
today = new Date();
date = today.getDate();
day = (day[today.getDay()]);
month = (month[today.getMonth()]);
year = (today.getFullYear());
suffix = (date==1 || date==21 || date==31) ? "st" : "th" &&
(date==2 || date==22) ? "nd" : "th" && (date==3 || date==23) ? "rd" : "th"
function print_date()
{
document.write(day + "," + "&nbsp;" + "&nbsp;" + month + "&nbsp" + date + "^{" + suffix + "}" + "&nbsp;" + "&nbsp;" + year);
}
// -->
</script>
<script>
<!--
print_date();
//-->
</script>
</span><br />
