Getting PHP Date format correct

Question

I can't seem to get this date format correct.

I'm looking to display the current date like this: Wednesday, May 16th

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

Check out the [PHP date documentation](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php), it covers everything you need and has lots of examples. — cteski, May 16 '18 at 21:55

If you want leading zeroes (e.g. "Wednesday, May 02nd"):

date("l, F sS");

If you do not want leading zeroes (e.g. "Wednesday, May 2nd"):

date("l, F jS");
