Why not just do this with JavaScript?

Here is a script which displays what you are after:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!-- Begin
var day="";
var month="";
var ampm="";
var ampmhour="";
var myweekday="";
var year="";
var oneDate = new Date()
mydate = new Date();
myday = mydate.getDay();
mymonth = mydate.getMonth();
myweekday= mydate.getDate();
weekday= myweekday;
myyear= mydate.getFullYear();
year = myyear;
myhours = mydate.getHours();
ampmhour = (myhours > 12) ? myhours - 12 : myhours;
ampm = (myhours >= 12) ? ' PM' : ' AM';
mytime = mydate.getMinutes();
myminutes = ((mytime < 10) ? ':0' : ':') + mytime;

if(myday == 0)
day = " Sunday, ";
else if(myday == 1)
day = " Monday, ";
else if(myday == 2)
day = " Tuesday, ";
else if(myday == 3)
day = " Wednesday, ";
else if(myday == 4)
day = " Thursday, ";
else if(myday == 5)
day = " Friday, ";
else if(myday == 6)
day = " Saturday, ";
if(mymonth == 0) {
month = "January ";}
else if(mymonth ==1)
month = "February ";
else if(mymonth ==2)
month = "March ";
else if(mymonth ==3)
month = "April ";
else if(mymonth ==4)
month = "May ";
else if(mymonth ==5)
month = "June ";
else if(mymonth ==6)
month = "July ";
else if(mymonth ==7)
month = "August ";
else if(mymonth ==8)
month = "September ";
else if(mymonth ==9)
month = "October ";
else if(mymonth ==10)
month = "November ";
else if(mymonth ==11)
month = "December ";
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<SCRIPT>
<!--//
document.write(day + month);
document.write(myweekday + ", " + year);<!---------------------- THIS LINE
CHANGES ----->
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</BODY></HTML>

Hope this helps you out.
