# current date time widget

 * I’m using Current Date & Time Plugin (v1.03 by Chris Jean. See [) although his site no longer exists. ](http://blog.realthemes.com/2008/06/current-date-time-widget/)
 * I’ve got it working OK, but I’d like the PHP date format displayed to use ‘D’,
   the three letter version (e.g. Mon) rather than the full text representation ‘
   l’ as it currently does. See [here](http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)
   for date format details.
 * See my sidebar text widget at [this site](http://www.gp3transport.co.uk). In 
   the plugin code (see below) I can see two references to ‘l’ that I have tried
   changing to ‘D’ but this has no effect on the output. Should I be editing some
   other place too?
