<?php
//check to see if passing variable is set i.e. if true get day, month, year.
if(isset($_GET['day'])){
$day = $_GET['day'];
} else{
//Get today's date and put them in date, month, year
$day = date("d");
}
if(isset($_GET['month'])){
$month = $_GET['month'];
} else{
$month = date("m");
}
if(isset($_GET['year'])){
$year = $_GET['year'];
} else{
$year = date("Y");
}

echo $day."/".$month."/".$year;

?>

check out the date function on php.net. all the options are there and nice ly explained.

 

basically the format you want is something like:

 

date("d l Y");

It works now!

 

Changed

date("d l Y");

to

date("d F Y");

from the manual like you pointed out

 

Problems Solved Thanks!!!
