php date script problem
i want to store the output of date into a variable and be able to echo out that variable in a sentence. but the below isn't working.

Code:
<?php

#$date_time  = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
putenv("TZ=US/Eastern");
date_time = "date('h:i:s')."\n"";

echo ("<li>Today's date is:  ($date_time)</li>\n");

?>

i want the output to be something like:

Code:
Today's date is ($date_time).

After making a couple of adjustments, I get:

Code:
  •  Today's date is: (02:31:29)
    •

as output.

The new code is:
Code:
<?php
putenv("TZ=US/Eastern");
$date_time = date('h:i:s');

echo "<li>Today's date is:  ($date_time)</li>\n";

?>

(the time, based on your format to the date function)
