Most compact way to display todays date on a page?
 

The topic pretty much says it - I'm looking for the most compact scripting to display todays date on a page.

The javascript stuff seems pretty bulky, is there some way to do it that doesn't take multiple lines of script?

That'll pretty well do it. :)

Or for PHP you can use something like

Two beautiful methods, thanks much Wazza and Acidmax!

I'm a little more familiar with ssi than php, is there anything special that I have to do to get the php method to display on an html page?

(I know that to use the ssi method I have to insert the entries into htaccess to get ssi to display on an html page. I'm guessing there's a similar htaccess entry for php...)

If php is installed on your webserver (it is on the majority out there). Just save the file with a .php extension and put that code where you want the date and you are all set.

this line in .htaccess will make all .html pages be parsed for php

AddType application/x-httpd-php html

or you can force for a particular file like this


ForceType application/x-httpd-php
