Re: Changing Date Format in Field
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1999
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 25402
interpreted = N
texte = Thanks Ken...I think I am almost there, but here's what I get:Here's my code:[format days_to_date %a, %b %d][math date]{[eventdate]}[/math][/format]Which works great at formatting...but now the dates are wrong. Now, alldates are either Sun, Jan 01 or Sun, Jan 02. This includes a range of about15 dates which actually span Jan. 5 to Feb. 28 in reality. Any idea why mydates would be wrong?Timothy W.
