HTML, PHP, Iframe, date...?

[Carl II]

I need some help. Hope to find it here.
I'd like to put the date on my website. Browsing this forum I found two ways to do so. The first I donnt understand (using php and an Iframe) and one that works, but doesnt look the way I'd like it to. You can see the result at www.snelensimpeleengratiswebsitebouwen.com wich is very much under construction (published it a few hours ago).
As you can see the date is in a button. What I like it to be is just plain text in the right font.

I found the script I used on this forum and narrowed it down to:

<form name=myForm>
<input type=button value="Loading..." name=clock></form>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function runClock(){
theTime = window.setTimeout("runClock()", 1000);
d = new Date();
day = d.getDay();
mon = d.getMonth();
date = d.getDate();
year = d.getYear();
zday=new Array();
zday=["Zondag","Maandag","Dinsdag","Woensdag","Donderdag " ,"Vrijdag","Zaterdag"];
zmon=new Array();
zmon=["Januari","Februari","Maart","April","Mei","Ju ni", "Juli","Augustus","September","Oktober","November" ," December"];

document.myForm.clock.value=""+zday[day]+", "+zmon[mon]+" "+date+", "+year+"";}
runClock();
//--></script>

Can somebody tell me how to change it into what I'm looking for. Have trying and browsing both the net and this forum for a day and a half. Its time to swollow my pride and ask for help :)

Re: HTML, PHP, Iframe, date...?

I only understand basic javascript, so Im not sure I can help you there too much. I don't know who said you have to use an iframe to use a php clock, all you have to do is enter this line of php code whever you want it to appear on your webpage, and make sure it is published as a .php NOT .html

<? echo date('F j Y'); ?>

Here is a table of all the timeformating, what I gave you above, F j Y, will format the date like this...
June 14 2006, if you make it... F j, Y.... it will be June 14, 2006

Hope that helps

Re: HTML, PHP, Iframe, date...?

Thanks Watdaflip, but this is where I go wrong, i'm afraid. I donnt understand how to enter the php code in my website and neither do I understand how to publish it (the page? the code?) as .php instead of .html.

I'd realy apreciate it if you can make this dummy understand...

Re: HTML, PHP, Iframe, date...?

im not 100% sure how to do it in bluevoda (I don't use it), but I do know that bluevoda has a feature where you can enter in html. Use that to enter the php code:
<? echo date('F j Y'); ?>
And drag it where ever you want it to be. When I took a look at the program a couple months back I know if gave you the option to publish the webpage as a .html, or a .php. Perhaps right click and select properties...

Sorry i cant help with the specifics, maybe someone who uses BV can give you the specifics.

If you want, on the page where you want the clock to appear place like a 100px wide 20 px high box and publish. Give me the link and ill add the clock where the box is for you and give you a download link for the file.

Re: HTML, PHP, Iframe, date...?

I am using the script below. Simply place it in a HTML box and move the HTML box to the desired location. If you need the date displayed in another language, simply change the months and days in between the "s

Hope this helps.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var
month = new Array();
month[0]="January";
month[1]="February";
month[2]="March";
month[3]="April";
month[4]="May";
month[5]="June";
month[6]="July";
month[7]="August";
month[8]="September";
month[9]="October";
month[10]="November";
month[11]="December";
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;" + date + "^{" + suffix + "}" + "&nbsp;" +
month + "," + "&nbsp;" + year);
}
// -->
</script>
<script>
<!--
print_date();
//-->
</script>
