RE: [PHP] strange php output

I don't understand quite well your question, but I guess you are trying to include a page inside other pages containing just a script that shows up the actual Date and Time... Well, you could simplify this just by making a finction called i.e. datetime() and call it from wherever you want. It that's the case, do this in other page or inside any of your pages (i.e. main.php): function datetime() { echo date ("D, jS F Y \a\t G:i:s"); } This code is UNTESTED... I forgot if I have to put a backslash (\) before the : in the time part ;) Hope this helps, C. > -----Original Message----- > From: Calvin Spealman [mailto:calvin@ironfroggy.com] > Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 5:27 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] strange php output > > I'm trying to do a little trick with my new site. i have one main php > script, index.php which includes the header and footer scripts and the > page script between them. the page script is determined by $page, which > is set to "main" if it doesnt exist already. $page .
