Hi,

just can't remember how I change from the servers US date format to EU date like day, month, year. I have it like this now;
$date = `date +"%B %d, %A, %Y"`;
chop($date);
$shortdate = `date +"%D"`;
chop($shortdate);

It's just a blackhole in my head right now, help needed.

Thanks.

Ok, the blackhole is no longer a hole it's filled. I suddenly came back to the living live, it should be like this;

$shortdate = `date +"%e, %b, %Y"`;
chop($shortdate);

Enjoy...

if you get the time and date with localtime you can split up that string by splitting on " ".Then you can simply create a new date string by adding the elements od the date array in the right order.

Hope this helps,

Malte

Malte,

thanks, but it works as I want it as I stated above, the only thing was that I wrote it slightly incorrect above. It should be like this;
$shortdate = `date +"%d/%m/%y"`;
chop($shortdate);

I just put commas when I posted by habit.

Have a good one....
