Can't you just use the Autogallery variables to do this?
Like #%DATE%# or #%LUPDT%#
I don't know if that would work, but if not, how about...
You are using an SHTML page, you should be able to do it using SSI. I wasn't able to get it to work perfectly when testing.
Read this page:

To me, it looks like you should be able to do this:
Code:
< !--#config timefmt="%m/%e"-->
< !--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"-->
The problem with this is that it' makes the month have a zero in front of it. I suppose you should just do it where you update the month number each month and just echo the day each day. For example:
Code:
5/
< !--#config timefmt="%e"-->
< !--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"-->
For some reason, though, when I test it, I get a space in front of the day. I'm not sure why.
Alterately, you could just do a simple server side include that would pull in a text file with the current date. For example, make a cron job that runs a script to update the date in a text file each night at midnight, then just put an include for that tiny text file each place where you want the date to appear.
I'm sure there might be a better way, but that's the way I'd probably do it.
