Re: Current Time And Date In Footer

Why not just use the date(); function in the footer? I guess both are good but date(); is much simpler big_smile
For the time your could use time(); then I'm 99.7% sure Rickard made a function that turns time(); to correct time formating, format_time(); or something like that, you'd have to check in functions.php.

No, of course you use date() for both.

<? echo date("Y-m-d h:i:s A") ?>

will output exactly the same as the JavaScript does.
In one single line.
I think if there is no need to use JavaScript (e.g. figure out things on the client side that the server can not know) then it is always better to use server side scripting. Faster and more reliable.
