You can't "call" a javascript function from php. What you can do is output javascript code that calls a javascript function.
function clientTime() {
        var cNow = new Date();
        var cHour = cNow.getHours();
       var cMin  = cNow.getMinutes();
       var hour= cHour + ":" + cMin;
       return hour;
       } //End function clientTime
      function clientDate() {
             var cDate  = new Date();
      var clientYear = cDate.getFullYear();
      var clientMonth = cDate.getMonth();
      var clientDay   = cDate.getDate();
      var year= clientYear + "-" + clientMonth + "-" + clientDay;
      return year;
} //End function clientDate <? print "<span style=padding-left:14.2cm><font size=2 face=Arial color=#555555><script type=\"text/javascript\">";
        print "clientTime()";
        print "clientDate()</script></font></span>"; ?>
Your functions are returning values, but you aren't printing out those values. Try: print "document.write(clientTime());"; Rabin
