Take a look at the date function.

Are you remotely familiar with PHP? Do you know how to write and use it? Have you used variables and functions before?

I am new to it but i have just studied basics of it from w3schools , i am using a existing website and trying to modify it.

Once you get that figured out, use single quotes on your elements and get rid of that clustermuck of quote escaping. Stay away from echoing what is almost all pure HTML. Use the output tag. <= $some_variable ?>

If what you posted really is what you're working with, meaning that the echo is the only bit of code you have between those <?php ?> tags, then wouldn't you agree that

<?php

$month = date("m");

?>
<li style="display: list-item;" ><a href="#"></a>
<li style="display: list-item;" ><a href="http://mis.sgp.st.com/OVO_Alerts.php?MONTH=<?=$month?>&SITE=WWDC">WWDC</a></li>
<li style="display: list-item;" ><a href="http://mis.sgp.st.com/OVO_Alerts.php?MONTH=<?=$month?>&SITE=NOIDA">Noida</a></li>
<li style="display: list-item;" ><a href="#"></a></li>

is much easier to look at?

 

You're also missing a on that first link, though I don't believe it's technically required.
