Hi Karl First up, would you mind posting your messages in plain text instead of html format? It's just a courtesy to the rest of us.
> does anyone have the code to where i can have the time > printed on my home page like for example > > Monday, January 19, 2003 Sure, check out the date() function in the php manual - you can output current date in just about any format you care to choose. Something to consider though, the date that you get is based on the date on the server - so if your server is in a different time zone to you it'll look odd, ditto for someone viewing your page from a different time zone. Of course, if you and most people browsing your page are in the same time zone that won't matter. Also, you may want to display it that way anyhow (I do it on some of my web sites to show what time it is where the business who owns the site is located). If you actually want to display local time for the person viewing the web page then you'll need to use javascript and grab local date/time from the local computer. > also I want to have it state when the users login in > it says welcome back, (name) First thing you need to do is decide how you're going to store that information. Are you going to store user information in cookies? In a database? Flat files? Are you going to have the person log in before you display the welcome? Or are you trying to pick it up automatically? How complex and how reliable do you want to have this capability? > any advise would be fantastic? If you check the manual, particularly the fully annotated version at http://www.php.net/ you'll find a wealth of examples and code snippets that'll help you out.
