hi,
i’d like to display the current day in my document.
I found no snippet doing it, and i dont really feel like using a date TV, because i dont want the webmaster of my modx website to think he has to edit it (am i wrong?)
please can someone give me a tip?
thanks!

Create a snippet, and put the following code inside it:

<?php
$unixtime = time();
$date = strftime('%x %X', $unixtime);

return 'Current Date/time: '.$date;
?>
