  so i seriously read the directions on how to get the whole time and date thing down, however..im confused still, so i was wondering if there were any directional videos that would explain the system fairly well.

  thanks.

  I don’t know of a video, but maybe a search on google for “php date time video instructions” or something similar might bring one up. The codex documentation page is really good. You just have to figure out what each letter shows from the list (php list link on that page) and then just substitute in what you want. For instance”

  For example, the format string:
  
  l, F j, Y
  
  creates a date that look like this:
  
  Friday, September 24, 2004
  
  Here is what each format character in the string above represents:
  
      * l = Full name for day of the week (lower-case L).
      * F = Full name for the month.
      * j = The day of the month.
      * Y = The year in 4 digits. (lower-case y gives the year's last 2 digits) 
  
      (Commas are read literally.)
