I know with standard website design you can use SSI to show the server time and date on your website. Is there a way to do this through CMS? So far everything i've tried has failed.

Please look at Extensions > Tags in admin panel. There's a tag named current_date which can do what you want
.

Also, the CustomContent module can be used for this. It can also be used to display different content based on the time and date. The list of variables that CustomContent exports is now greatly expanded, and should be very useful for you.

both work great, but i didn't realize till now that my server is in a different timezone than i'm wanting displayed on my website. Is there some way to modify this to move the time up 1 hour for my time zone?

Have you tried to call date_default_timezone_set() in index.php?

I have tried this but have been un-successfull. Where would the code go? I'm not too familiar with php so i'll strugle a little bit. Here is what I have tried putting into the index.php file. Either I received (Call to undefined function: date_default_timezone_set()) or the page pulled up fine but the time did not change.
echo(date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Paris"));

date-default-timezone-set is valid for php >= 5.1 version
