In before I wrote about the php date execution errors at the first test. Now, what to do? I asked about this matter to Emran bhai and got a simple solution. Just use this codes <?php echo date(“m-d-Y”, time()); ?>. Both are showing same results. Enjoy
At beginning, one of my friend said to me, ” I should read the PHP Manual“. But, I found on Chapter 2: A Simple Tutorial they said, “…We have an if statement. If you are familiar with the basic syntax used by the C language, this should look logical to you. Otherwise, you should probably pick up an introductory PHP book and read the first couple of chapters, or read the Language Reference part of the manual.”. Hope you got my points.
However, on chapter they introducing with variables.
<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?>
On that codes you will see $_SERVER is a variable and that will handle PHP automatically. After the execution you will see Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
Note that the result will be vary and based on your system and browser versions.
I have been trying to find out this error In my first PHP code execution. Don’t get any solutions but got some theoretical idea how actually everything working to execute the dates.
If the syntax is perfect and the parsing that means the processing engine can read the codes that should be execute instantly to web server.
echo function which is not a function but it sending string data to browser to show the today’s date and the code is echo $todaysdate;
The date function is already built-in and that will do the rest of works automatically and on Dave’s book I read, ”
The date() function is built in to PHP, meaning that you don’t have to write or copy the function into your PHP5 program; it’s simply there for you to use at any time. It’s written in the same way as functions in most languages. It starts with the name of the function followed by parentheses, and inside the parentheses are arguments—the values, expressions, or more functions that resolve to a value which is then used by the date() function to produce the final answer. Take a look at this line from the example program:
$todaysdate = date("m",time()) . "-" . date("d",time()) ."-".
date("Y",time());
The first argument is “m”, signifying to the date() function that you want to know the month. The second argument uses the time() function, which gets the current time. The date() function processes the current time and extracts the month as a two-character value. You can use the date() function again to get the day and year from the time() function. “
Thanks to great writter Dave for the great sample plus explation and you can get this book at amazon.com
Do you know which programming languages is popular on web? I got the idea from technolearn. I started search on Google and in before I read a blog post about it. Try out and see the result in Google Engine PHP Script, Perl Script, ASP Script and you will get the largest amount of result in search engine and that is for PHP.
Hope you got the idea and people making lots of works with PHP. Again I excited 
. Stay tuned.
@viraljetani, thanks for the comments. I am feeling happy to see you again.
In before I said you, I lost my passions about PHP but now I’m over excited about PHP and I published about it in last night. You can read more about random things about PHP.
I am on Chapter: 2 “Create a simple PHP Program“. Their I got a full instructions and if you write any php codes and save the file as .html – this will execute but you won’t get the expected results. I also read that, “a very common error you’ll find in your PHP code is the parse error“. Might be I did the same things.
However, I don’t know – what’s going on that codes (given below). It’s not executing properly. I saved in local server and closed all things properly and the file extension is .php ( I double checked).
The text here displays the date as a result of PHP5 processing: Today is < ?php $todaysdate = date("m",time()) . "-" . date("d",time()) . "-" date("Y", time()); echo $todaysdate; ?>
Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll digg more on this codes. Until then if possible leave your comments and resolve this problem.
