OK, I want to be able to show the date in PHP. Its gonna be at the top right-hand corner of the page and it doesn't need to update every second or anything like that. It needs to be in the format: Month Date, Year, for example "July 4, 2000"

Any ideas?

Use the date() function.

For the current time in the format you specified, you would use:

echo date("F j, Y");

Look in the manual for the explanation of the format.
