date formatting for CC card expiration date check
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1998
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 18321
interpreted = N
texte = One of the things that can hang up WebMerchant and MacAuthorize is when a customer puts in an invalid CC expiration date. This causes WebMerchant and macAuth. to time out then repeatedly then dial over and over again on the order.To prevent this, I want to check the customer's expiration date before the order is complete (a good idea anyway). But I'm having trouble with date formatting using the latest WebCat version.[date %m/%Y] gives 06/18/1998%m/%Y][date %m] gives 06/18/1998%m][format 2.0f][expmonth][/format] doesn't give 02, 03, etc., need to add zero in front.There's probably many ways to attempt this, but the most obvious ones don't work as I'd expect them to. [showif [date %m]>[expmonth]][hideif [date %Y]<[expyear]]Type logic would suit me fine, as would [hideif [date %m/%Y]<[format 2.0f][expmonth][/format]/[expyear]]but no such luck. Any suggestions? My default date setting in preferences is the default one %m/%d/%Y.ThanksSandy
