    Hi

    I was just wondering if this code is wrong, as I can not see the date.

    <html>
    <head></head>
    <body class="page_bg">
    Hello, today is <?php echo date('l, F jS, Y'); ?>.
    </body>
    </html>

    Is anything here wrong?

    Thankyou in advance

    if the file is a .html file then this does not work. However you can add a handler so that apache treats .html the same way as .php.

    There are different ways to do that but the safest is to contact your host and ask them.

    Hi Stephan

    Thank you for helping out.

    I am going through a php tutorial and it says that I need to put php into a html page using the php tags.
    Only I cant seem to work out how to do it. I can view the php file on its own and the html file on there own on my pc on localhost. I'll have to keep watching the php chapter till I can figure out what he has done differently.

    All the best

    ok i see what you mean. You have to change the ending to .php then it will work.
