To drop a date or time into your web-page, you first need to create an .htaccess file to get the server to parse your html files for server-side includes.

In the .htaccess include the line:

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html html

Then within the html code include a line like:

<!--#config timefmt="%A, %e %B %Y" -->
<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT" -->

This is then replaced by the server time/ date before being served up to the browser.

The possible date/time values are:

Code  Purpose of Code
%a  Abbreviated weekday name
%A  Full weekday name
%b  Abbreviated month name
%B  Full month name
