I'm assuming you got the PHP code to work to show the date (even if it's
the wrong timezone for you).
If you have stored the date in a variable $lastmodified then you could
use the following code to adjust it:
$date = date_create($lastmodified, timezone_open('Pacific/Nauru'));
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:sP');
Just use a valid timezone name to replace the Pacific/Nauru. Keep in
mind that the time may look off for other users who do not live in the
timezone you want to display.
For more information about datetime and timezone check the following
page at php.net:

Much simpler:
<?php
echo "This file was last modified on: ";
echo date("Y-m-d H:m",filemtime($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]));
?>

options, I would say one option is not up to you, so in reality you have
only one option (the last one)
1. Make the webserver to send .html files to tne php engine as it does
with the .php files.
2. Rename the .html file to .php

The issue is that the web server will not treat each file it handles as
a php code, it will only look for files that ends with php, send those
to a PHP-engine which parses the file and executes the php code and then
hands back the output to the web server which then sends the output to
the end user (the visitor to your web page).
It's possible to allow .html/.htm files the same way, but then you need
the administration rights of the server, as you are using a shared
service, it means you don't have administrator privileges and those you
can't do the change.
So this leads to the only thing you can do, rename your files so that
they are called .php instead of .html/.htm.
If you don't want to rename files, then you need to look at javascript
solution for displaying last modified document time.

No, it's your web browsers html engine that detects a faulty html tag
with another html tag and tries it best to correct the html and shows
you what it thinks should be shown.
Had you written:
<?php echo 1+1; ?>
your output had been:
yes, nothing at all, and that is the proof of that the php code do not
be executed, had the php engine processed the page before sent to you,
you would have had a 2.

As long it's in a file ending with html/htm it will not be executed, so
matter what you write, nothing will happen, you need to change the
ending to php.

You just need to change the links to the new page name that ends with
.php and that's it.

Itnernet is nowadays quite useless without javascript, so people tend to
not disable it anymore. The benefit with the javascript is that you can
display time the file was modified based on the users timezone.

You can also try this to make sure the file system cache is emptied:

clearstatcache($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);

clearstatcache();

$_SERVER is a super global array which provides a number of runtime
parameters of the current script. $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] contains
the complete name of the current script including the path or the name
which was passed at command line when using PHP as CLI.

The browser displays *exactly* this:
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
Just have a look at the source of the page which is displayed by the
browser.
Since <?php will treated by the browser as the beginning of a tag, it
will be omitted in the visible output. But "; ?>" is clearly left over
as the PHP code was *not* interpreted but just sent to the browser. The
result is then what you see.
If renaming everything from .html to .php you should look for a hosting
service which allows using .html with PHP as well. Technically this is
just a configuration in the webserver - however that is usually not
possible in shared hosting environments.

If you have uploaded the file in the correct folder of your webhost then it should produce a clean output. It should just say:
There should not be any other characters.Hello World
Are you sure your webhost is allowing you to run php on the server? Some servers have a basic subscription that only allows you static files - HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Who is your host? I suspect, you are running your own webserver
and so you haven't configured it correctly to serve php files. We
get newbies who think they have done what is required but "nothing
works". They become very defensive when you try to point out their
errors.

It should work (but again, it depends on the way the server is set up).
Alternatively, rename the relevant files to .htm and redirect .htm to PHP
but leave .html alone.

You're not showing minutes at all. Lower case m is month number (as you

and month is an odd pairing!

You're not showing minutes at all. Lower case m is month number (as you
used in the date). You probably want H:i for hour and minutes; hour
and month is an odd pairing!

if PHP accepts the upper case version as well you should use the correct
case to avoid problems with future updates.

The function name is "explode()" in lower case and not "Explode()". Even
> $break = Explode('/', $file);

case to avoid problems with future updates.

> I don't even know if I'm up to the level of being a newbie at thispoint. I mostly need to do a specific thing, get a html file todisplay its last modified date and time inside itself.I'm not sure a book is going to be that useful, but maybe a Web sitecould be. I'd need one that really is basic.I've found a Web page or two, but they seem to assume that I know morethan I do because I can't get the code snippets I've found on thoseWeb pages to work.I used to use ssi for this, but I moved to a new Web host and theyseem to have their server time zone set as the only time zone I candisplay, and they are far away from me, so in ssi I get a date andtime for a file modification time that's many hours off. I'm hopingthat php will solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried setting up your own webserver to try this out on?
Try doing basic stuff and work your way up to figuring it out? I
had messaged similar problem with using JS in PHP and although my
solution wasn't too elegant it did what I wanted.
The point is to break down what u want done and attack each step.
Next, use HTML in your file to do what you want to then replace
each one with a PHP snippet. I could offer you some help if you
would like.
