cron to e-mail date and time in subject 1

[Geronantimo]

I am trying to write a very simple php script that can send an e-mail with the date and time in the subject line.

I have tried this:

<?php
     mail("cron@domain.net","hello",x);
?>

and this works fine - "hello" is in the subject line and "x" in the body of the e-mail.

When I try to echo the date into the subject line, I cannot get it to work.

Is it possible to achieve what I am trying to achieve?

$subject="hello" . date("D M d Y");

mail("cron@domain.net",$subject,"x");

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Hi vacunita,

Thank you so much. Can you tell that I am a bit of a beginner?
