How to echo alert todays date using javascript?

echo '<script>alert('.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').')</script>';

I am a beginner and I would like to ask how is it possible for me to alert the current datetime. I tried the above code but it is not working.

I take it your date is a php var so you are breaking out of the single quote for the echo, but if it is a string, your js needs to be surrounded in quotes.

Try this:

echo '<script>alert("'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'")</script>';

Note the double quotes that will be echoed out around the date string

Use script tag to enclose the alert as follows

echo '<script>alert("'.date('Y-m-d H:i:s').'");</script>';

alert(new Date())

will be all that's required
