php date function help

[dentnick]

Hi,

I am new to all this.

I try to run a website which uses the php date function to display date and time.

The problem is that i am from Greece.

The only problem i have is with the months display.

It shows Jan Feb etc.

I would like to see them in Greek or if this is diffidcult at least to see months in numeric fromat from 1 to 12 and not names.

I attach here the functions_date.php in text format in case someone can help.

 

Regards,

 

Nick

http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php is php.net's reply on date function. That has howto do it with 1-12 instead of month.
