Hello,
Thanks for reading our question! We would like to be able to show the date in our timezone, which is different from the server's timezone. We found a script that should do what we like. But, we do not know what parts to remove, and so the script is not functioning for us? Please could one of you kind experts delete all the exrtraneous lines from the code below and leave us with just the working parts. Our server offset should be 14 hours ahead. If possible, please could you make it so that it shows just the date, not the time. Could the date format be:
Long Day Long Month Day Number Long Year
Ex.
Friday July 16th 2004
Many thanks,
Yunkaa
