How to put date in header

[Andy]

With vBulletin version 3.04 I used phpinclude_start and defined this variable

$mydate = date("l F jS");

but now I'm told with 3.5 I have to do it in a different way.

Can someone please explain how to make this work in my header template

<font size="-2">$mydate</font>

admincp -> plugin system -> add new plugin

put $mydate = date("l F jS"); in global_start hook

Thanks Dream, that worked perfect. :)

FYI: There are two variables created as part of global.php running called $datenow and $timenow, which have the current date/time in your preferred format.

Hi Paul,

Close, $datenow uses the MM-DD-YEAR format, I prefer this format "Wednesday July 13th".
