    This is a simple yet great tutorial on how to display the date in PHP.

    Here is the code snippet:

    <?php
    echo strftime('%d %B %Y',time());
    ?>

    This will result something like: 01 January 2009

    Yeah, I think the date() function is more commonly used.

    This is the simplest example of using the function... Reading the php documentation for date() will give you a lot more knowledge and understanding why it does what it does, how to use it in different situations, etc, etc.
