Best way to show current date?
 

I've got... this javascript below, but I need a way to include that multiple times on the same page... without having to use the script multiple times...

i.e. I have 100 links I want to show the current date that this script does, without having this script 100 times on the page... and bulking up my html

Any way to do that easily?

[script language="Javascript">
!!!!--

// Array of day names
var dayNames = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday",
"Thursday","Friday","Saturday");

// Array of month Names
var monthNames = new Array(
"January","February","March","April","May","June", "July",
"August","September","October","November","Decembe r");

!var now = new Date();
document.write(monthNames[now.getMonth()] + " " +
now.getDate());

// --!!!
!/script]

The file you use this on, must be a .php extension.

Do you need to use javascript? You can also do it simply with SSI using something like:

< !--#config timefmt="%m/%d/%y" -->

< !--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->

word....
