Day, Month, Date and Year

Hi Guy's, Newbie here.

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I'm trying to output the Day, Month, Date and Year but I'm getting into a spot of bother. I think I'm close, but just need to nail this one last part. My script is this.

function addDaysToDate(days) {
  var day = new Array("Mon","Tue","Wed","Thur","Fri","Sat","Sun");	
  var mths = new Array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar",
    "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep",
    "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");

  var d = new Date();
  d.setHours(d.getHours() + (24 * days));
  
  var currDa = d.getDay();
  var currD = d.getDate();
  var currM = d.getMonth();
  var currY = d.getFullYear();

  return day  [currDa] + " ," + currM + " " + currD + ", " + currY;
}

It was working fine with the months but I wanted to add the days and it's all gone to pot, can someone help me please. Thanks.

Jonny

Days in Javascript run from Sunday (0) to Saturday (6).

<script type="text/javascript">

function addDaysToToday( numDays ) {
    var date = new Date();
    date.setDate( date.getDate() + numDays );
    var months = ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"];
    var day = ["Sun", "Mon","Tue","Wed","Thur","Fri","Sat"];
    var dy = date.getDay();
    return day[dy] + " " + months[date.getMonth()] + " " + date.getDate() + ", " + date.getFullYear();
}

alert (addDaysToToday(7));

// To subtract days from today, just pass a negative number to the function. 

</script>
