    Where Do I Place Date Code for Webpage Display

    Hi, i have had no problem displaying the current date and time, on a
    static webpage. However, when i try to use the various PHP and MySQL
    snippets, it does'nt seem to work out.

    My success story can be seen on, amongst others,
    http:www.manchesterpaul.net/world.war.html
    http:www.manchesterpaul.net/world.govroy.html

    For this i used the Server Side Includes code of
    <!--#echo var="DATE_GMT" -->~~~If this is not today's date, refresh
    page for updated version.

    I have tried placing the above AND the MySQL, PHP versions detailed
    below, on the PHP outputted webpages, above and below the PHP
    sections. Also, within the Database Fields, as an entry. In the same
    way that one uses HTML code in the displayed results from a PHP query.
    Instead of the date and time i get lots of similar output to the bit
    below,
    #######
    Today's Date Is

    Today's Date Is Today's Date Is echo("Today Is $today");
    echo("The Time Is $now");
    #######
    Can someone enlighten me as to where the code should be placed. Under
    no circumstances do i wish to use Javascript.
    The following are my failures;

    Today's Date Is <?php echo gmdate("D M d Y"); ?>

    Today's Date Is <?php
    $today =date("l, d, F, Y");
    $now = date("H:i:s");< br>
    echo("Today Is $today");<br>
    echo("The Time Is $now");

          First of all, are you sure you server even supports PHP and MySQL?
          If it does, does your script file have the *.php extension?

          This must work if PHP is supported...

          Cheers,

              Problem solved, like my 'master', i am new to all this. He pointed out
              that i should try separate <?php & ?> brackets for each piece of code
              on the page. I had only included the one pair. Presuming that all code
              within it would be processed. Thanks anyway. It seems to be doing the
              job.

                  I noticed that Message-ID:
                  <30d56be7.03111 80959.2c9b2605@ posting.google. com> from Stupidgirl
                  contained the following:

                  Well it will, as long as the only thing within the tag is code. One of
                  the really cool things is that you can make non code, conditional.

                  <?php
                  if(condition){
                  ?>

                  Some html that shows if condition is true

                  <?php }
                  else{ ?>

                  Some html that only shows if the condition is false

                  <?php } ?>
