i was originally looking for the answer to this question in a different forum, but realized it’s a PHP question…

can someone help me add a date stamp to this script??  
it’s for a guestbook

\<?php  
$file = fopen(“guestbook.xml”, “w+”) or die(“Can’t open XML file”);  
$xmlString = $HTTP\_RAW\_POST\_DATA;  
if(!fwrite($file, $xmlString)){  
print “Error writing to XML-file”;  
}  
print $xmlString."  
";  
fclose($file);  
?\>

thanks,  
s.
